Synopsis

In "Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens," Laura Rountree Smith crafts a charming narrative that interweaves themes of loss, responsibility, and familial love through the whimsical adventures of three mischievous kittens. Written in a playful rhyming style, the book employs vivid imagery and rhythmic prose, making it a delightful read for children and an effective tool for early literacy. Its rich context is emblematic of early 20th-century children's literature, representing a transitional period marked by the incorporation of both moral instruction and entertainment in storytelling. Laura Rountree Smith was an influential figure in children's literature during her time, imbued with a profound appreciation for nature and the quaint intricacies of childhood. Her own experiences in rural America, coupled with her keen observation of animal behavior, inspired her to create engaging narratives that echo the universal lessons of growth and self-discovery. Smith's work champions playful exploration while subtly advocating for positive virtues, earning her a distinguished place among her contemporaries. This enchanting tale is a must-read for parents and educators alike, as it not only entertains but also imparts valuable lessons about accountability and the joy found in both loss and recovery. Readers will find that the delightful kittens enrich the narrative, making it an essential addition to any child's bookshelf.

The New York Times–bestselling author returns to the Magykal world of her “deliciously spellbinding” fantasy series with this eBook exclusive novella (Kirkus, starred review of Septimus Heap: Magyk). 
 
In this tale that takes place between the stories told in Magyk and Flyte, the witches of the Port Witch Coven want DomDaniel’s powerful Darke Toad—and will go to ridiculous lengths to get their hands on it. But first, Simon Heap must get his master to the Port Witch Coven’s door, which may require a bit more Darke Magyk—and a much stronger stomach—than he bargained for. Is Simon up to the task? 
 
Meanwhile, ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand has taken her young Apprentice, Septimus Heap, on a field trip to the Port. But what Marcia had hoped would be a fun yet educational outing quickly turns chaotic, for it slipped Marcia’s mind that tonight is Hallowseeth—the perfect night for Darke mischief to go unnoticed among the revelers. 
 
With Angie Sage’s characteristic humor, beloved characters, and Magykal setting, Septimus Heap: The Darke Toad is a must-read for every Septimus fan.
