“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.”

— Booklist (starred review) -
“Three people and two cats form a cozy quintet in this volume…Jenkins smoothly weaves logical analysis into a narrative that exudes warmth, and the book concludes with a gentle scene of togetherness.”
