Claris: Holiday Heist: The Chicest Mouse in Paris

Claris is back and this time she and her best friend, Monsieur the cat, are with their family on a holiday trip to New York City. While the family is settling into their apartment and getting ready for Christmas, their daughter, the Brat, insists there are not nearly enough gifts for her under the tree, and the family needs to go right out and buy a whole lot more things for her. Claris knows she has to quickly find the perfect outfit to wear. Just as they are jumping into the car, Claris notices some hungry, cold mice living near the street, but she has nothing to give them. At the store, Claris sees a theft, and she and Monsieur chase after the thief. Can they find the thief and return the goods to the rightful owner?

Megan Hess is both author and illustrator of this cute book. Claris is a regular little fashionista, and her outfits are the highlight of this book, along with the bright, glittering holiday illustrations throughout. Youngsters, especially little girls, will love searching through the illustrations for all the delightful details they will find. This is a real holiday winner.
