From best-selling author Holly Webb comes a charming collection for animal-loving children: The Firefighter's Kitten, The Smallest Kitten, The Railway Kitten and A Kitten Called Tiger.

Orinthia and Seafra Shalloo accept a summer job from the eccentric Grandy Brock, who has collected a menagerie of furry and feathered posties known as ANIMAILS. The children are especially fond of Geronimo, a homing pelican. But when the big bird fails to return from a delivery, their little brother, Taber, is devastated, so much so that he mails himself to New York, where Geronimo was sent. Orinthia and Seafra follow suit, stealing a precious stamp and hopping in a freight crate - and soon all are embarked on an extraordinarily daring first-class adventure.

A while has passed since Orinthia Shalloo's transatlantic adventure with her two younger brothers, and the Mailbox Menagerie is thriving, with trained animails delivering post. Then the Ambroses, a family of ice-cream makers, arrive in Little Penhallow, and announce that they're entering their ice-cream into the prestigious Golden Udder Awards in Norway. Orinthia and Dotty Ambrose decide to train a pair of cows to deliver a true show-stopper during the competition. But on the voyage to Norway and beyond, it's clear someone is determined to sabotage their efforts...

Last spring, the otters' home flooded. Now the water is high again. Young otter Sedge believes he can save his holt from another flood - but he has to be brave enough travel downstream for help. Downriver, the beaver lodge is also at risk. Silken—who is too small and weak to do the work needed to strengthen the beavers' dam—feels something calling her up the river. As the two animals unknowingly swim towards each other, they are drawn to the spirit of Greenriver, who takes the form of a snow-white otter, Lady River. But will Lady River hear their plea for safety?

Amelia and her family are walking their two dogs when disaster strikes and Poppet the puppy disappears during a game of fetch. After searching high and low, Amelia discovers that Poppet has fallen down an old mine and has no way of escaping. Amelia is so worried at the thought of Poppet all alone in the cold, dark mine, but can she find a way to get Poppet out safely?

The otters who live on the Greenriver have only just begun to recover from last year's flood when a swan arrives with news of a new threat: a clan of foxes is travelling closer and closer to the holt. Legends that have been passed down from otter to otter and beaver to beaver portray the foxes as sneaky, cruel creatures. Soon, the tenuous peace that has been brokered between the otters and beavers is threatened by this news. The otter holt and beaver lodge each believe a different course of action should be taken.
