Ree Drummond, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pioneer Woman Cooks series of books, and her lovable hound Charlie are back just in time for the holidays in Charlie and the Christmas Kitty.

With expressive illustrations by Diane deGroat, a delicious recipe from Ree Drummond, and the hilarious antics of Charlie, this hardcover picture book makes an excellent gift.

In this follow-up to the New York Times bestselling picture book Charlie the Ranch Dog, Ree Drummond--the Pioneer Woman herself--delivers a story about getting into the holiday spirit and finding the good in all. Even though Charlie may not have put a kitty on his Christmas list, he learns that if you keep an open heart, new friends can come in unexpected packages.

Why is there a great big tree in the house? ?
And why are all these boxes underneath it?
Hey--what is that? ? Where did it come from?
Uh-oh. This isn't good. . . . This isn't good at all
