Do Superkitties Books Have An Audiobook Edition?

I got curious about this the way I do with any cute kids’ show—by hunting down the books on the shelf at my local bookstore. The TV series 'SuperKitties' was created by Paula Rosenthal and premiered in January 2023, and the picture and board books based on the show followed pretty quickly. They’re not all by one single author; instead, publishers commission several writers to adapt episodes or craft short standalone stories that match the show’s tone and learning goals. From what I’ve seen in stores and online, the first wave of tie-in books came out in 2023, timed to ride the buzz of the TV launch. More activity—activity like sticker books, lift-the-flap editions, and early readers—kept coming through 2023 and into 2024. If you want the exact byline and release date for a specific title, check the book’s copyright page or the product details on the publisher’s site (that’s where the precise author, illustrator, and ISBN live). I picked up a cute board book adaptation for weekend reading with a toddler and its author credit was clearly printed, so it’s usually easy to confirm once you look at a particular title.

I get kind of giddy talking about these — the books based on 'SuperKitties' are delightfully straightforward about who the mains are. The core team is four kittens: Ginny, who's the confident, get-things-moving leader; Sparks, the sparkplug who loves gadgets and clever fixes; Buddy, the big-hearted, strong one who often helps with heavy lifting; and Bitsy, the tiny, quick-thinking kitten who surprises everyone with clever plans. They operate out of Kittydale and the books mirror the show's focus on teamwork, so the kittens are usually solving problems for their neighbors — a lost toy, a stuck friend, a misplaced hat. The stories also sprinkle in recurring townsfolk and animal side characters who add personality and gentle conflict. If you're picking a book to start with, anything that lists the four team names on the cover will give you that classic mix of action, friendship, and kid-friendly humor I love to read aloud at bedtime.

If you have a shelf of 'SuperKitties' books staring at you, I sort them the way I sort any kid-friendly tie-in series: start with the origin-ish or character-intro books, then move to the early, short adventures, and finish with special-themed or activity titles. Most of the published 'SuperKitties' books are picture-book style tie-ins of the TV show and are written to be read in any order, but I find a gentle progression helps little listeners feel like they’re growing with the cast. So my practical order: first, any book that explicitly introduces Ginny, Sparks, Buddy and Bits (or says it’s an introduction) — that sets up who does what. Next are the simple problem-solving adventures that focus on teamwork and a clear mini-mystery; these are the meat of the series and great for repeated reads. After that I tuck holiday specials or party/activity books in the middle so they feel like treats. Finally, the board books, coloring/activity books, and novelty formats live at the end for when you want interactive downtime. If you’ve got chapter-style or longer illustrated storybooks, place them in the middle between introductions and themed specials to bridge short reads and longer sit-down sessions. If publication order matters to you as a collector, check the copyright page or the publisher’s list, but for bedtime and preschool reading I’ll happily mix them based on theme and length. My kids loved starting with character intros and circling back to favorites — it’s cozy, and you get more mileage that way.

Honestly, I got a little obsessed with tracking 'SuperKitties' books after my niece asked for every one she could find — it's a rabbit hole (or kitty hole?) that I happily fell into. If you count only the core story picture books that tie directly to the TV episodes, publishers have released roughly a half-dozen to a handful of titles. But once you include board books for toddlers, little activity or sticker books, and the simple early-reader editions, the total creeps up. By mid-2024 I was seeing around a dozen distinct kid-facing titles across retailers and library catalogs. That number jumps again if you include themed coloring books, sticker packs, or seasonal specials that reuse characters and branding. So, short-ish takeaway: there isn’t one canonical, locked-in number — it depends on what you consider part of the series. If you want a precise current count, check the publisher’s page and WorldCat or your library’s catalog; I did that on a lazy Saturday and found a few regional editions I’d missed. Personally, I tend to collect the storybooks and one of each board book because small hands and sticky fingers deserve sturdier pages.

Oh, if you’ve ever caught a sleepy kiddo cuddled up with a superhero cat, you’re not imagining things — there are illustrated books tied to 'SuperKitties'. I’ve picked up a couple for bedtime reading, and they’re definitely more picture-heavy than text-heavy: think colorful spreads, big, bold art, and short, punchy sentences that mirror the vibe of the show. Most of the editions I’ve seen are picture books or sturdy board books aimed at preschoolers, plus some activity-style books with stickers or simple puzzles that lean on illustrations to keep little hands busy. If you’re hunting for them, search retailers and library catalogs for keywords like "'SuperKitties' picture book," "board book," or "storybook". Publisher pages and product listings usually show sample pages so you can check the art and reading level before buying. I’ll toss a tiny tip from personal experience: check library apps like OverDrive/Libby and Hoopla — my local branch had a digital read-along version once, and that saved bedtime when a physical copy was out. Also keep an eye on seasonal reprints; publishers sometimes release holiday-themed or gift-set illustrated editions that look extra nice on a shelf.

If you’ve been seeing tiny capes everywhere and wondering if the books came first, here’s the short scoop from my living-room-critic self: the TV series 'SuperKitties' is the original property. It launched on Nickelodeon in early 2023 and was created for television rather than adapted from a pre-existing children's book series. The show follows the heroic team (you’ve got Ginny, Sparks, Buddy, and Bitsy if you want names to toss around at snack time) saving Kittydale and solving little neighborhood mysteries — very much designed for preschool eyes and ears. That said, the franchise did expand into print after the show hit screens. I’ve picked up a couple of the tie-in storybooks and activity books at the bookstore and they’re cute little adaptations of episodes and character moments, useful for bedtime. Also, episodes are commonly available on streaming platforms tied to Nickelodeon, so if you want to watch first and then read the book, that’s the usual order. Personally, I like watching an episode with my niece and then reading a short storybook version; the pictures help reinforce the fun.

Honestly, I love curling up with a stack of picture books and seeing which ones my little crowd gravitates toward, and 'Super Kitties' often makes the cut. The bright colors, bold character designs, and simple problem-solving plots are exactly the sort of things that catch preschool eyes and ears. If the books you mean are tie-ins to the show, they usually keep sentences short, repeat key phrases, and focus on teamwork — all great for kids aged roughly 2–5. Board-book versions or sturdy picture books are perfect for this age: they survive sticky hands and can be handled by the child, which builds confidence. That said, suitability isn’t just about the title, it’s about how you use it. Short attention spans mean keeping read-aloud sessions playful and under ten minutes, asking simple questions like “Where’s the red hat?” or “What noise does a kitty make?” If a book introduces a small peril or a silly villain, it’s usually mild and resolved quickly, which helps preschoolers learn emotion vocabulary and coping. I also like pairing the story with a prop—little plush kitties or a homemade cape—so the child can act out the scenes. Overall, I’d say 'Super Kitties' books are well-suited for preschoolers with a little parental tuning: skim the pages first, pick the sturdier formats, and turn reading into a game rather than a lecture.

If you're hunting for the best deals on 'Superkitties', I usually start online because it's the fastest way to scan prices across a ton of sellers. Amazon often has competitive prices, especially for paperback or Kindle editions, and you can use tools like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa to watch price history and set alerts. For used copies, AbeBooks and ThriftBooks are lifesavers — I once found a near-mint copy for half the cover price and it arrived with a little bookmark tucked inside, which felt delightfully nostalgic. eBay and Facebook Marketplace can surprise you with bargains too, especially if you're okay with slightly worn copies. If supporting indie shops matters to you, I buy through Bookshop.org or my local bookstore's website; prices might be close to retail, but Bookshop.org often runs discounts and they funnel a cut back to independent stores. For UK buyers, Wordery sometimes beats Amazon thanks to free global shipping. Don’t forget to compare ISBNs so you're getting the right edition and check shipping costs — a cheap book can become expensive once postage and import fees sneak in. Also, sign up for newsletters from big retailers and use Rakuten or Honey for cashback and coupons. For digital options, Kindle or audiobook versions (try Audible or Libro.fm to support indie sellers) are often cheaper and instant. Lastly, watch for library sales, school book fairs, and local thrift shops — I’ve found boxed sets and out-of-print volumes at a fraction of their new price. Happy hunting — and if you want, tell me which edition you want and I’ll help scout the best deal!
