A sweet little mouse takes on a cheeky cat burglar with holiday cheer! Can Claris and Monsieur save the day – the New York way?

We know that we're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but admittedly, we did! As soon as we opened the package and pulled out the book it was love. My daughter loved the fancy clothes and the shimmering gold on the cover. Inside, it just got better. There are plenty of books that feature fashionable characters and destinations, but what made this one really unique was that it included actual fashion brands like Chanel and Cartier and more. Admittedly, my daughter didn't know this, but once I told her, she agreed that that made it even cooler. While the illustrations were great, it was a really cute story too... perfect for the holiday season or all throughout the year.
This is the 4th Claris book, but you don't have to have read the others to enjoy it. This is the first we had read, and we still loved it. In fact, we cannot wait to read more of them! If you have a fashion loving child in your life, this is one great book to add to their holiday list!

This would go to either the 6 or 4 year old niece for Christmas, probably the 4 year old because she loves fashion and clothing, especially dresses and shoes!
