It's not Kitty's fault when she's late for school and Dad crashed into the gatepost! It's not Kitty's fault that baby Tom crawls into trouble or that she's getting too old to sit on Dad's knee....

Kitty always seems brave, but really she gets scared like everyone else. All sorts of things are frightening for her and her friends from monsters and ghosts to the audience at the school play....

Kitty decides as she gets older that she knows certain things. The trouble is, grown-ups keep treating her like a baby and she is sick of it....

Do you ever say, 'so what!'? Sometimes Kitty doesn't seem to care about anything. Sometimes she is just pretending she doesn't care....

William had got a new bike for his birthday, and Kitty wanted one more than anything in the world. 'I wish it was mine - oh, I wish it was mine,' she said to herself, over and over again....

The only thing Kitty's friends want to do is to watch TV. Dad's busy and Mum has a new baby. What can Kitty do to stop everyone being so boring?....

Nothing could stop Kitty feeling miserable. So miserable, that when Mum went downstairs to make her some hot blackcurrant juice, Kitty turned to cuddle Mr. Tubs....

"It's not fair!" is Kitty's plaintive cry. When one day Kitty's mother echoes Kitty's cry of "It's not fair" Kitty thinks up a brilliant idea

Kitty's favourite word is no! She doesn't want to clean her teeth, eat her vegetables or play with boring Melissa....
