    A cat and kitten learn just what it is that makes home such a special place to be–now in a padded board book edition.

    It’s more than just a building.
    It    ’s more than just a place.
    Home is where I know that
    I will see your smiling face.

    A charming celebration of what home means to each of us, featuring a wise cat and an adorable kitten who discover that there really is no place like home.
    With this small volume, Dodd adds another sweet, simple, and short title to her list of picture books in which adorable animals stand in for humans and impart reassuring sentiments. Her smudgy-lined art features a huggable duo of smiling kitties just being cats in a clean, pink house that’s clearly inhabited by humans, though none ever appear. . . . Toddlers, whether cat lovers or no, will identify with the small, white kitten.
    —Kirkus Reviews

    Word and picture combine to convey a sense of security in this 13th volume of Ms. Dodd’s ‘Love You’ series of short, sweet picture books for children ages 2-5.
