Illustrated by
Amanda Shepherd.
Prompted by a pajama-clad girl, a cat names the people who love her; the girl provides commentary. Given the book's meandering quality, its anticlimactic ending (the two fall asleep) is perhaps all we can expect. Still, the message about the love of family and friends is satisfying, and the arching lines of type sit comfortably on the painterly illustrations.
