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.

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?
