The sneaky kitten is another lovely book in the invisible magic wand series. In this children’s story Caspian is given magical hot chocolate socks for his unbirthday by his grandpa. He’s thrilled to put them to use when he finds a frisbee that then gets stuck in a tree. In the process he finds a little kitten with a knack for getting into some sticky, dangerous situations. This little, sneaky kitten is connected to the frisbee in a neat, surprising way. What a cute book!
