The bad good guys are getting attacked by the zombie kittens, zittens. Marmalade has escaped and Agent Fox wants to follow Marmalade as well as get a cure for the zittens but she can only be in place at a time so she sends Mr. Piranha and Mr. Shark to follow Marmalade to the an island whilst she goes to Granny Gumbo for an antidote for the zittens.

I liked this but not as much as I have liked others books in the series so far. I did love Mr. Piranha and Mr. Shark's adventures and the illustrations were quite good.

3 stars

Tee Hee!! Great fun!

Bad Guys spend the book battling and trying to get the cure for the zombie kittens, zittens! Lol...They have to get the help from a strange old granny, great laughs!

Absolutely diabolical. Absolutely hilarious. This is one of my favorites in the series to date because Snake had me HOLLERING. I absolutely adore this series for the humor and I'm excited to see what's going to happen in the next installment.

I didn't love this as much as the first 3, but still fun. Moving on to the cuteapocalypse.

[Anna Ryan-Punch · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are just such mental fun to read aloud (plus lots of space for accents - my Southern granny trucker impression was a hit). The only problem is they're over so quickly!

[Zac Khalinsky · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was really really funny! As with all of the bad guys books it always ends on a cliffhanger. You really do need to read the books in order to understand them.

[Melki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Look out! You're surrounded by ZITTENS! Zittens are . . . you guessed it -

ZOMBIE KITTENS!

How will the Bad Guys put a stop to this menace without getting their faces chewed off?

Another cute and funny adventure in this wacky series!

Svet je u opasnosti jer je u toku napad zmačića (zombi mačića)! Dok se jedan deo ekipe uputio u potragu za protiv otrovom, drugi deo tima otišao je da motri na zlikovca koji ih je pustio, a koji je, naravno u begu. Dobrom saradnjom spasavaju svet, ali onda se stvara daleko veći problem.

Ove knjige su mi, kao odrasloj osobi, bile izuzetno zanimljive, a verujem da bi se svidele i deci, kojoj i jesu namenjene. Bilo je neverovatno zabavno čitati ih, a nadam se da će Laguna da objavi nastavke.

Najbolji dio od prva 4, jedva čekam da se dočepam nastavka! Zmačići, kako to slatko zvuči, hue hue 😁!

Situácia hlavných hrdinov sa každým dielom komplikuje. A vy sa smejete ako blázni. Toto je, a ja sa opakujem, moja najobľúbenejšia knižná séria súčasnosti. #trebacitat

Those do-gooding bad guys - Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Legs the tarantula - are back in this fourth beginning chapter-book/graphic-novel devoted to their adventures, this time confronting the horrific zombie-kitten army unleashed by their guinea-pig nemesis, the evil mad scientist Dr. Marmalade. Agent Fox once again makes an appearance, much to the delight of the smitten Mr. Wolf, and together with some of the companions, seeks the help of Granny Gumbo, an old alligator with the requisite knowledge to create an antidote to Dr. Marmalade's zombification process. That cavine villain, in the meantime, escapes from under the nose of a disguised Mr. Shark and Mr. Piranha, and blasts off into space in a rocket ship...

Much like its predecessors, The Bad Guys in Attack of the Zittens - originally published in Australia as The Bad Guys in Apocalypse Meow - pairs a hilarious adventure story, full to the brim with snappy dialogue and madcap misadventures, with amusingly expressive cartoon-style illustrations. The characters have really taken shape at this point, with each one having his one specific characteristics - Mr. Wolf's irrepressible optimism and faith, for instance, or Mr. Shark's penchant for disguises that somehow always seem to work, even when they shouldn't - that make him stand out to the reader. I enjoyed this installment of author/illustrator Aaron Blabey's ongoing series immensely, and had no sooner finished it, than I was reaching for the sequel, The Bad Guys in Intergalactic Gas . Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed the first three Bad Guys books.

[La Coccinelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books are so goofy. This time, the Bad Guys are trying to stop Dr. Marmalade's army of zombie kittens. Luckily, they have help from an alligator with allergies. Unluckily (for Mr. Snake, anyway), she has a hankering for snake meat.

I think I enjoyed this one a little more than the last installment. We still ended on a cliffhanger and Dr. Marmalade is still in the wind, but the Bad Guys are on it.

Next stop? The moon...

Dr. Marmalade has just unleashed an infestation of zombie kittens to the world but with the help of their new friend Agent Fox, the gang manages to find a solution to stop his nefarious plan but only to hit an unexpected snag. A- (91%/Excellent)

My daughter wanted me to read the book before she reads it (she was afraid to get scared). I liked it quite a bit! It's funny, with just the right amount of suspense and adventure. Stay tuned to see if my 9 years-old loves it or not!

[Hanin Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

cute illustrations, loved how the writer do some words in bold so kids can learn the words and look for their meanings.

[Vivian Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think it is a great book but I did not love how it continues it from book 3 to book 5

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

these books are so darn funny!

[Cris · Rating 4 out of 5]

When Marmalade turns all the cute kittens into zombies, we have zittens everywhere!! Can the guys save the planet from Marmalade and the Zittens?

[Lauren Stoolfire · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now that The Bad Guys 2 will be coming to the big screen soon, I thought I'd jump back into the graphic novels. It's been awhile since I've read book 3, but this was still a lot of silly fun. It goes so fast.

[Ro · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Great book

[Gail · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this one with my six year old. We were taking turns reading pages but he got so caught up in it he kept reading to me. Then he got a serious case of the giggles about halfway through. This series is a hit at our house. Looking forward to the next!

*ترجمه اش از نشر پرتغال*
هممم موضوعش برام جالب بود! زامپیشی:)))
و همچنان شخصیت "مار" اش بامزه بود! ولی به اندازه ی کتاب اول به دلم ننشست...
اون تیکه ی معرفی کتاب اول خیلیییی خوب بودD:

[AMY · Rating 5 out of 5]

140 pages. This is a graphic novel. Mr. Blabey has really outdone himself this time! What funny illustrations! I was amazed at how many illustrations he has produced in just one book! This episode is very funny. I think almost as funny as the first one. This episode features some ferocious felines and one crazy guinea pig bent on destruction. Granny is very funny. I most enjoyed it when Granny keeps calling Mr. Snake - Grub! What a wacky sense of humor Mr. Blabey has. Kids are going to LOVE this one. In fact, today when I put the other copies out in my library they were jumping up and down and asking over and over, “Can we really check out those NEW BAD GUYS books over there????” When I told them yes, I was afraid there was going to be a stampede! I can’t wait to hear what they think! Highly recommended for Grades 2-5. Bravo! Boys will especially love this series.

[Heidi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another entertaining entry in a rather silly series that young readers are bound to find hysterical. Mr. Shark, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, and Legs (a spider) are up to their necks in zombie kittens. But with the help of the beautiful Agent Fox there may be a way to eliminate the threat. But it will take all the disguises, courage, and patience they can muster. Unfortunately for Mr. Piranha that means wearing a bikini and for Mr. Snake, donating venom to the crazy alligator lady with the antidote. But will it be enough to defeat Dr. Marmalade's evil plan? This is a fun series for reluctant readers who aren't ready for anything very serious. The book seems more difficult than it is, with most pages having only a few sentences at most. The illustrations make the book a winner for young readers.

[Gary Vassallo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great episode of The Bad Guys, continuing the story from The Furball Strikes Back. This had been rivetted (and in stiches) from start to end. The story doesn't finish here so what's my next step? Straight into Episode 5 to see what happens next!

[Panda Incognito · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume has more gross-out humor than the previous Bad Guys books, and I found Shark and Piranha's hilarious side quest to be a welcome reprieve. As always, the dialogue is snappy and the illustrations are wonderfully expressive.

[Kristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Тази част от поредицата е пълна с екшън, нови герои и много действие.
Много бързо върви, героите отново се опитват да спасят света, но отново в опита си правя повече бели, отколкото добри дела.
И краят е толкова отворен, че децата да чакат следващата книга с голямо любопитство.
