Meet the House Kittens (Kitten Construction Company #1)

by John Patrick Green (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
All Marmalade wants to do is build things. She is, after all, a trained architect. She's also a distractingly adorable kitten. Fed up with not being taken seriously because she's so cute, Marmalade bands together with a handful of other aspiring builders--all of them kittens. But in a world where humans call the shots, can the Kitten Construction Company prove their worth . . . without giving up the very things that make them kittens? (Don't worry, dear reader, the answer is definitely yes!)
