Bookroo's summary

A young boy expresses his love to his animal friends, imagining cozy moments like nibbling cheese with a mouse or splashing with a frog. As his day ends, his father tucks him into bed, wrapping him in warmth and affection. This gentle tale of love and imagination invites readers to explore the bonds between family and friends, both human and animal. What adventures will his dreams bring next?

From the publisher

Enchanting illustrations perfectly complement a tender story about a young boy who has plenty of love to give–and is loved in return–in this gentle, rhythmic picture book illustrated by Tomie dePaola! A young boy tells his animal friends just how much he loves them, starting with a little mouse who deserves a warm nest and a nibble of cheese and ending when his own father tucks him lovingly into bed. Sweet and comforting, this is the perfect story to share with little ones.
