The Scariest Kitten in the World by Kate Messner & MacKenzie Haley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Scariest Kitten in the World is a hilarious picture book by Kate Messner and illustrated by MacKenzie Haley in the vein of The Monster at the End of This Book about a not-so-scary kitten and a not-too-terrifying haunted house.

WARNING! This is a VERY scary story.
It is the most spine-chilling story anyone could ever read.
It takes place in a horrifying haunted house (okay, not that terrifying) . . .
with a creepy creature (well, maybe not that creepy) . . .
and its frightening friends (but are they that frightening?).
Seriously. You’re going to be scared right out of your underpants by these guys!
There’s no way they’re the cutest little critters you’ve ever seen . . . right?

Packed with humor and heart and adorable illustrations, this not-quite-scary story will keep you laughing until the very last page.

“I haven't read this outloud to my students yet, but I'm sure it will be a hit. I don't know about your kids, but mine seem to love meta fiction and I think that's a lousy name for the literary device. May I suggest Ironic Groveresque?”
“Good for dialogic reading”
