If you're faced with a reluctant learner or multiple reluctant learners, Nick Bruel has disguised this ever subversive Bad Kitty installment as a learning event: talking about story elements. Heck, I even learned a new word in this book that I had never heard before: MacGuffin. That's a new literary term I had never heard before. Though, according to the glossary in the back, it's not a "literary" term per se, but a word that was coined to talk about film scripts.

I don't read children's books that much, but this one is pretty good. Inspires kids to make their own stories.

What a great book about what essential elements needed to create a book! I can see this book inspiring a lot of youngsters to start writing...

This is probably one of the funniest books about writing I've ever read. This is amusing and informative. Were I a teacher, I would have a classroom set of these and absolutely would not teach writing without it.

Another good Bad Kitty book. This one was interesting because it has Bad Kitty interacting with the author, Nick Bruel. It’s cool that Bruel talks about copyrights and how to make a story. It would be a good way to teach kids how to write a story.

The concept was a little deep for my six year old, but at least he now knows what a protagonist is!
