The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

Glitter Kittens

Flash, Flare, Twinkle, and Sparkle Tangerine are the most glimmery, glitzy, fabulous kittens ever, and they love nothing more than talking about their favorite thing: themselves. Their best best friends get fed up with the bragging and come up with a plan: a game of hide-and-seek where the glittery felines hide and everyone else counts to one million and three. Then, as the kittens hide in a cave, the shimmer-free friends conveniently forget to count.

But THEN, a Glitter-Eating Monster spies the kittens’ glitter trail and starts to follow it, ready for a snack. And now there are choices to make. Do the best best friends intervene? Do the kittens dare to step out of the spotlight?
