Bookroo's summary

Kitty's world turns upside down when her favorite treats disappear, leaving only unappetizing vegetables. In a hilarious alphabetical rampage, she wreaks havoc from A to Z. But when delicious delights return, will Kitty mend her mischievous ways? Discover the riotous journey of a cat's culinary rebellion and the unexpected path to redemption.

From the publisher

From the creator of The New York Times bestseller Boing! comes the riotous story of a cat gone berserk — four times over an in alphabetical order each time. Kitty is not happy hen she’s told that her favorite foods are all gone and all that’s left are Asparagus, Beets, Cauliflower, Dill…and 22 other equally unappealing vegetables. So she: Ate my homework, Bit grandma, Clawed the curtains, Damaged the dishes, and so on, through Z. Only when tastier things arrive (An Assortment of Anchovies, Buffalo Burritos, Chicken Cheesecake…) does she Apologize to Grandma.

I really liked how many times they used the alphabet in this book. At least four times they had each letter of the alphabet stand out and describe something the kitty did. Very clever.
