Celebrate the small, often overlooked things that cats, dogs, and children love in this sweet and gentle picture book from Newbery Medal winner and author of the Henry and Mudge series, Cynthia Rylant.

Cats love boxes and windows and toys… and other things. Dogs love sticks and biscuits and puddles… and other things. Children love bubbles and cake and stories… and other things. But what do they all love? Love.

A Book of Loves beautifully highlights the universal and simple joys cherished by all.
