Celebrate the small, often overlooked things that cats, dogs, and children love in this sweet and gentle picture book from Newbery Medal winner and author of the Henry and Mudge series, Cynthia Rylant.

Sometimes happiness is absolutely contagious and that is exactly what happens from page one to the end of this warm, wonderful story.

First we see the world and its wonderful things through the eyes of a cat.  Maybe these things looked normal at first but in a trice you will feel how very special each one of them is because we see them through the eyes of the cat who loves them.

On to the dog... same sense of joy and happiness from the simple things around us infuses these pages.

Finally, the children- and what do they love?

Delightful!  But then, what would you expect from Cynthia Rylant?
