From acclaimed fashion illustrator Megan Hess comes the fourth book in the bestselling picture book series, Claris: The Chicest Mouse in Paris. Hess joins Books on Tap Live to discuss the latest adventures of the diminutive heroine with superlative fashion sense beloved by children all over the world. Translated into ten languages, the Claris series has a quarter of a million books in print, and this volume with gilt-edges and stunning illustrations is bound to be an instant holiday classic.
In Claris: Holiday Heist the chicest mouse in Paris has now become the chicest mouse in Manhattan - and quite possibly the most courageous one, too! Spending Christmas in New York, Claris never imagined her trip would involve catching an actual cat burglar, but after witnessing the cat swipe a ruby ring, Claris sets off on a thrilling dash through the city to capture the ring and save the day!
