It’s Market Day! Everyone wants Mama Cat’s magical desserts, but her kittens think she deserves a treat of her own. Will they find the perfect gift among the stalls? Find out in this early graphic reader!

It’s time to go to the market! Mama Cat is selling her most delicious desserts, from bright rainbow cookies to shimmering sunshine muffins. Can cute kitten siblings Nutmeg, Cinnamon, and Ginger find the perfect present to treat their Mama? Maybe a colorful shell, a shimmering sweater, or an enchanted packet of seeds? Time to explore a colorful, crowded, and dazzling fantasy market! 

This imaginative and inviting graphic reader returns readers to the delicious world of rising comics star Miranda Harmon’s Spring Cakes, which Kirkus Reviews called a story where “young kitty and comics lovers will be right at home!” With deep detail and a sweet-hearted sensibility, MARKET DAY helps introduce children to the concepts of purchasing, money-handling, and gift-giving.

Comics-lovers can now share the fun with their kids, students, siblings, and younger friends who are learning to read!
