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!

I Like to Read® Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds.

I Like to Read® Comics, like their award-winning I Like to Read® counterpart, are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers.

We hope that all new readers will say, “I like to read comics!”
Miranda Harmon is a comics artist and storyboarder living in Los Angeles, CA. She is the co-creator of the upcoming graphic novel series MAYOR GOOD BOY and a storyboarder on the Cartoon Network show The Fungies. Her work has appeared in Chainmail Bikini and The Nib and her clients include Lion Forge and BOOM!.
"The animal characters are welcoming, as well as the bright palette."—School Library Journal

"For little kids learning to read independently who love kittens and cute, sparkly things, this is a fun, accessible read with plenty to spark their imaginations."—Booklist

"Simple text in speech bubbles and narrative boxes, combined with bright, engaging panels and a relatable story, make for a fine tale for those new to graphic novels."—Kirkus Reviews
