Welcome to Mitten Press! We hope you enjoy browsing our new web site, where you'll find great books and fun activities for your youngsters.

We have a whole new crop of books that take children on an imaginative trip to Grandma’s house, a visit with lighthouse keeper Edison, and an escape from a garden with some fleeing vegetables. Our first state chapter-book series visits Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois, with new series in the northeast and lower midwest coming soon. We’ll introduce you to a few new friends—Hannah, Blanca, and a bumbling bear named Astair. We hope that you enjoy getting to know them as much as we have!

As you browse, be sure to check out the free activity guides to accompany the books. They are added to the site about a month after a new title is released, and they contain many fun games and activities to complete as you read the books.

Again, welcome to Mitten Press!
