Bad Cat Puts on His Top Hat

by Tracy-Lee MeGuinness-Kelly



      Bad Cat revels in being bad. He sings about it. And with his mouth full of big pointy teeth - he certainly looks bad. He is a cat who does what he will - and it's always bad. Or is it? In Bad Cat puts on His Top Hat, we see Bad Cat dashing and dancing through the city of Stinkytown and everywhere he goes, there is change. He accidentally draws a line of customers for a restaurant, shows a bully the error of his ways, foils a robbery, and inspires creativity. All this happens through the stubborn badness of going his own way in his own time. This is a comforting story for a young child who is often the cause of accidental "badness." My five-year-old daughter immediately saw through Bad Cat's persona of badness - he's really a good cat to have around. The illustrations were bright and energetic and filled with unusual details that will add to each encounter with the book, matching Bad Cat's personality purrfectly.
