(4) PS Illustrated by Jed Henry. A kitten describes how much he misses his grammy and his military dad who is stationed overseas. Just when the longing becomes too much, the family is happily reunited. Little ones may identify with the kitten's feelings, but the rhyming text feels forced or inconsistent sometimes, and the art, though warm, adds to the sentimental tone of the book.
