Go, Bad Cat, Go! Stage 1: 6 Beginner Readers for Kids in Kindergarten & 1st Grade (Bad Cat Phonics Adventures – Learn to Read Series Book 7)

Many parents and teachers know the challenge: finding books that beginning and struggling readers can actually read—and want to read.

That's exactly why the Bad Cat series was created!

MOTORCYCLES. BOATS. BIG TROUBLE. Bad Cat loves to go fast— WAY too fast.

When Pop the Pig climbs to the top of the barn, Bad Cat is sure he can get there faster on his motorcycle. Before long, he's racing up ramps, crashing through the barn, and running from an angry bull.

But Bad Cat isn't finished yet.

He straps a tiny motorboat to his motorcycle, races to the farm pond, and soon he's zipping across the water in one wild ride.

What could possibly go wrong?
