About the Author:

Yasmine Surovec loves kitties. She is the artist behind the popular comic blog and book Cat vs. Human. Originally from Manila, Philippines, she now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband and their puppy and three kitties.

From School Library Journal:

PreS—Chloe's kitty loves to sleep, so the child is excited about giving her the perfect present, a new bed. Unfortunately, Kitty doesn't seem to like it. She seems to prefer sleeping almost anywhere else: on the TV, in her litter box, on Mom's favorite sweater, or even on a houseplant. Chloe is disappointed that her thoughtful gift is being ignored, so one night, when her pet has taken over her bed, Chloe curls up on Kitty's bed. Intrigued, the purring feline finally decides to sleep in her own bed—on top of Chloe. The illustrations are large and uncluttered, with minimal details or background. Feelings, whether human or feline, are clearly shown through facial expressions done with minimal lines—dots for eyes, a circle or line for mouth—and most spreads feature a single sentence. This sweet story will make a nice bedtime story for preschoolers curling up in their own soft beds among loved ones or a group read-aloud for the very youngest listeners.—Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
