The story is written in third person and first person by Kiki Kittie. She is a normal cat until her birthday. Kiki starts the story off explaining why her family is unusual. The text is written in a child-like writing, which helps keep the book a little more interesting. I believe it keeps it more interesting because it makes you think it is act...more

This book was not what I expected at all. It is a very short book and a very easy read in terms of words and length. The story has some good and bad qualities to do. There are few themes that stuck out to me within the book. One of those is that everyone is unique, and this was shown through the book by the characters. I think it is an important idea of children to learn. It does not overpower the story at all and it just comes out naturally. It is seen at the very start though.

I think this book would be great for students in grade 1st or 2nd or students that are still in the early stages of reading. I do not think this is a book that young boys or guys would lkike but I do think that young girls will get a kick out of it. It is a very easy and quick read with some fun and humor. Harper used a very approiate methaphor "the Kitty" Most young children adore animals or cats , so making her book about"a Fashion Kitty" brings in alot of insight and younger readers. This boo...more

Fashion Kitty by Charise Mericle Harper is a graphic novel that has to do with a talking kitty that turns into a fashion super hero. She deals with fashion dilemmas and even different relationships throughout the book. The cover really caught my eye with the glittery title and even when I opened it up to start reading, the pages were all pink and gray with cartoon illustrations. I think novels that are set up like a comic book can really catch a child’s eye; I feel as if it’s a style they might...more

Fashion Kitty by Charise Mericle Harper is a fun and fast-paced book. Overall the book is about a kitty that turns into a super hero kitty called Fashion Kitty. Her duty is to save other kitties from the dangers of bad fashion.
The book is great for reluctant readers as the writing style is simple and easy to comprehend. It is also a good book for readers transitioning from picture books to chapter books. The book seems to target more of a female readership as the storyline is typical of the t...more
Kiki Kitty is just her normal, fashionable, kitty self...until one day an unexplainable event occurs and she is given fashion super powers! Fashion Kitty is born, with the abilities to to help little kitties everywhere with their fashion crises.

This book is a graphic novel in which a young cat named Kiki is involved in an accident on her birthday and turns into Fashion Kitty, a super hero who helps others with fashion faux pas.

Fashion Kitty's first rescue is a young kitt...more

Fashion Kitty, written by Cherise Mercicle Harper, is a unique story that would seem very appealing to young girls with an interest in fashion and perhaps kittens. Fashion Kitty is about Kiki Kittie, who is the main character of the story. Kiki Kitty becomes instantly stylish when she flips through fashion magazines that appear near her birthday. Kiki Kittie wishes to help other kittens with their fashion sense as well. The illustrations seem “girly” as they are in colors of pink and grey. The s...more
I am not a big fan of graphic novels, and this one was not an exception. I don't think it is fair to write a book for young girls that is all about fashion, or that fashion emergencies exist. I also don't think that they are challenging for young readers to become better readers. However, I know that they are enjoyed by many readers, and that they will always be read. I enjoyed the bright illustrations in this book. The story is humorous at times, and I can see why a young girl would like to rea...more
For my graphic novel, I chose to read Fashion Kitty written and illustrated by Charise Mericle Harper. This story was easy to read and I can see how much fun it would be for young readers, especially girls! I think it would be best for girls grades 3-5. It is about a girl cat named Kiki who lives with her mother, father, little sister Lana and their pet mouse, mousey. The story begins by explaining how Kiki's family is unlike other cat families. They compare how the Kittie's having a pet mouse,...more
This book was a charming story and would be a fun read for students, especially girls, in middle to late elementary grades. The format of the story, where some plot is developed outside text bubbles, but a lot of dialogue does take place in text bubbles keeps the story flowing. The topic of fashion and kittens taking on super hero roles, as well as the overwhelming use of pink in the panels will attract female audiences. The story itself will keep them reading, as it is fun but not too difficult...more

Fashion Kitty is such a fun book to read. The illustrations are so much fun to look at. Most of the graphics are in different shades of pink, but some black and white comes through. In the middle of the book there are a few pages that you can cut along the lines and interact with different outfits for the kitty. This is always great to have in children's book as it helps the children get involved in the story and be creative! The story had good moral to it as well as fun pictures and humorous te...more
This story of KiKi Kittie is a truly spectacular one. While at first glance I thought this graphic novel was going to be a silly one I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has great deep, meaningful messages. As Fashion Kitty goes through helping other kittens with their fashion dilemmas and struggles with friends she gives advice on self-esteem, bullying, and family issues that many children can benefit from. While the story line is kind of simplistic the illustrations really help support t...more

A freak accident turns ordinary Kiki Kitty into Fashion Kitty, a superhero dedicated to righting fashion wrongs the world over.
Aimed squarely at the Babymouse demographic, Fashion Kitty's silly humor is likely to win over even the most reluctant reader. The pink and gray color scheme, glittery cover, cartoon illustrations, and girl friendly subject matter will pique young girls' interest, even if they do not usually read graphic novels. Parents and educators will appreciate the "clean" subject...more

GENRE: Fiction, graphic novel.
SUMMARY: In a bizarre birthday-cake candle blowing incident, Kiki Kittie was struck by a vase and then hit on the head with a bunch of fashion magazines, which turned her into Fashion Kitty, able to hear fashion calls of despair. She rushes to the aid of friends and strangers alike, preventing fashion mishaps of the first degree.
EVALUATION: As a die-hard tomboy, I find obvious 'girly' titles like this a bit difficult to take. However, the artwork was well done, and...more

When I saw this title, I just knew it would be a hit with our girls. And it was. With the kitty and fashion theme, what is not to like? (especially if you are a 7-9 year old girl) The illustrations are typical for Charise Mericle Harper's stories and as we are in the middle of reading Still Just Grace, we are very familiar with her style. All in all, it's a short, entertaining story and it has a fun mix-and-match fashion cut-out section in the middle. Our girls really liked it and I'm sure we wi...more
