Kitty and Cat go to visit Hound and Dog on the log where they have been sitting for the past thirteen days. They knew it had been thirteen days because that’s how many times the sun came up and went down. The dogs were waiting for the cats to return and were scared to leave the log because of the noises out there at night. Kitty and Kat tell the dogs they can get off the log, and they will help them figure out the scratching noise that has been scaring them. When they go around to inspect the log, they notice an entrance that wasn’t there before and a set of stairs leading downward. Deciding they weren’t scared, the four go down the stairs and end up in a strange cave of a sort. When they reach the end, they meet a black creature with large wings. He tells them his name is Bartholomew BatButt and it puts the group at ease because he’s a nice bat.

I thought that Kitty And Kat: BattButts by Robert Beals III was an adorable and imaginative read that kids would really find likable. It’s such a wacky and fun story that it easily gains young readers' attention. I also like how there’s an underlying message to brush your teeth to keep them healthy. The illustrations are also wonderfully done and fit in with the story perfectly. Robert Beals has really created such a wonderful world with interesting characters that children will enjoy. Kitty And Kat: BattButts is definitely a book I would purchase and recommend.

Kitty and Kat’s new adventure began when they found their friends Hound and Dog sitting on a log. They soon learn the dogs had been sitting there for thirteen days because they were too scared to move. There are scratching noises in the log all the time. Every night, large squeaking birds with funny wings come out and make loud noises. The four animals walked to the end of the log and saw an entrance that was not there previously. After some discussion, they went down the stairs. In the children’s book, Kitty and Kat: Batbutts, written by Robert Beals III, the four animals embark on an exciting adventure. They meet friendly Bartholomew BatButt and learn what happens to little BatButts who do not listen to their mothers and fathers.

This book is the third in a series featuring Kitty and Kat. The plot would be interesting for young children who are learning about different animals. It also imparts important lessons about what may happen when children do not listen to their parents, eat too many sweets, and do not brush their teeth. This book is ideal for parents who want to read to their children and discuss the lessons within it. The illustrations by Blueberry Illustrations are delightful and will capture the imaginations of young children. Another fun feature is the use of synonyms, such as “fry day” for Friday, and “bee holder” for beholder. Author Robert Beals III has written a charming book that will captivate young children (and parents too) in Kitty and Kat: Batbutts.
