Just what IS it that makes home such a special place to be?

Home's an extra special space
you hold within your heart
to keep you very close to me
when we must be apart.


A charming celebration of what home means to all of us, featuring a wise cat and an adorable little 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.

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.
