Sugar Would Not Eat It by Emily Jenkins, Giselle Potter

0.5

This book sets a shockingly bad example for how to take care of a cat. The protagonist tries to feed the poor kitten chocolate cake, which is potentially lethal because of the chocolate. Even if the cake had no chocolate, cake is an extremely unhealthy food for cats to eat, even as occasional treats. Also, it seems that the protagonist starves the kitten for two days before allowing the poor thing to eat his own chicken sandwich. He yells and shouts at the poor kitten repeatedly when it refuses to eat his chocolate cake. Also disturbing is how the adults stand idly by as the protagonist mistreats his new kitten. This might be the worst children's book I have read in terms of portraying how to treat other creatures. It promotes dangerous and abusive behavior.
