A curious kitten leaves home and family to explore the outdoor world full of new kinds of animals, but is happy to come back to warmth and comfort at the end of the day. Die-cut holes permit the reader to peek through to the next page.
Pop-up pages and movable parts tell the story of Granny sleeping in the house with a child and animals sleeping on top of her, until the flea bites the mouse and starts a chain reaction of waking everyone up.
