As Holly's mother helps her take a bath and get ready for bed, the little kitten names everyone that she loves and lists the reasons why. Soft watercolors full of small details depict the scenes that Holly describes, while smaller vignettes show the cats going about their bedtime routine. While it doesn't stand out from the many featuring this theme, the book is nonetheless quietly comforting.
