When Cats Go Wrong

by Norm Hacking, Cynthia Nugent (Illustrator)

When Cats Go Wrong is more than just another cat book. Written to the tune of a tango, Norm Hacking’s song provides the perfect framework for a spirited look at life with a wicked cat. When a young boy comes across a stray cat on the street, he brings it home to his mother and begs her to keep it. She agrees, warning him that if the cat gets in any trouble, out he goes. Her words prove prophetic as Hell Kitty dips his paws into the goldfish bowl, sharpens his claws on the couch, and snacks on the butter. What to do? The author’s witty rhyming text and Cynthia Nugent’s vibrant illustrations based on French dance hall posters give energy and life to this captivating tale.

[Sara Ruiz Parr · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so much fun! Especially that it comes with a CD that plays the music!
This is a perfect book for a circle time read, and then to get up, and shake jump and wiggle it out to the music! These cats are so mischievous, and children will love to see them in the ruckus.

Cat owners will recognize their cat on at least one of the pages! Cute book about a mischievous cat. Also contains a CD with the book being the song.

Not an accelerated readers book.
