The cat’s out of the bag!
Mari A. Fisch, mermaid-princess-turned-human-spy, has been sent on land on a mission to protect all Earth’s critters. From ducks to cats and kittens, Mari can’t help but come to the rescue when there’s an animal in trouble! But after a smelly encounter in the woods, Mari learns a lesson in how to help when it seems like there’s nothing you can do.
It's the third title in an all-new chapter book series from award-winning children’s book author Monica Brown. With black-and-white illustrations on every page, milestone markers throughout, and craft-making activities at the end of each book, Fintastical Tales is the perfect series for any emergent or reluctant reader!
Saving animals is Mari’s mission—but she’s never faced a challenge quite like a mama cat and a very smelly skunk.
- A Mermaid Spy on Land: Mari is a mermaid princess in disguise, and her secret mission is to protect all of Earth's critters—even the ones that hiss or spray!
- Unexpected Animal Rescue: When a stray cat shows up at her window, Mari can't resist helping. She just didn't expect the cat to come with a litter of adorable, purring kittens.
- For Reluctant Readers: With charming black-and-white illustrations on every page and fun craft activities, this early chapter book is perfect for newly independent readers.
- Heartwarming Friendship: Between hilarious mix-ups and important lessons, Mari learns that the best adventures are the ones you share with friends, both human and animal.
