Summary

Three humans and two cats Five creatures live in our house. Three humans, and two cats. Three short, and two tall. Four grownups, and one child (that's me!). In this book of lighthearted comparisons, simple text and warm pictures work together to depict various scenes in a happy household where each member is distinct but also has something inn common with one or more of the others. The fun comes from sorting out the similarities and the differences.

Author Biography

Emily Jenkins and Tomek Bogacki have also collaborated on Daffodil. Both author and illustrator live in New York City.

Table of Contents

"A little girl contemplates the relationships among the five members of her family . . . She begins with similarities in appearance - 'three with orange hair' (mother, child, one cat) . . . then moves on to more idiosyncratic groups: 'one who can crawl under the fridge' . . . What emerges is a cozy portrait of two cats and three people who make up one loving family." --Starred, The Horn Book

"This clever, multi-layered book is as much for sharing and getting little ones on the path to deductive reasoning as it is for reading." --Starred, Booklist
