Kitten Construction Company: Meet the House Kittens - by John Patrick Green (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Fed up with not being taken serious 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?"--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis

Building a dream home is hard. Building one with kittens? Absolute chaos.

When Marmalade's family needs a new house, there's only one construction crew for the job: the Kitten Construction Company!

These tiny builders may be adorable, but they're also wildly creative, surprisingly resourceful... and just a little bit destructive.

As forklifts crash, blueprints fail, and kitten-sized disasters pile up, the crew must work together to turn total chaos into the perfect family home.

From bestselling creator John Patrick Green -- author of the smash-hit InvestiGators series -- comes a laugh-out-loud graphic novel packed with:

- hilarious visual comedy
- adorable kittens
- STEM and construction themes
- teamwork and problem-solving
