Claris, The Chicest Mouse in Paris

Claris the Chicest Mouse in Paris by Megan Hess (Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing)

Age 3-7

The perfect picture book for children aged 3-6 who love dress-ups, gentle adventure, friendship and all things fashion and style!

Do you have a fashion obsessed child? This is the book for them…

First published in 2018, this infectious rhyming tale about courage, compassion and a stylish little mouse, from international fashion illustrator Megan Hess has over one million books in print!

Claris is an adorable mouse who dreams of moving to Paris to follow her fashion dreams. One day, she bravely takes the leap – only to find a mean little girl with a horrible-looking cat standing in the way of her perfect Parisian apartment! Can Claris use all her wit, warmth and – of course – style to make her dreams come true? Hint: The cat is called Monsieur and they become besties! A mouse and cat best friend duo – love!

I also love the values Claris espouses:

‘Because nothing’s more stylish in life than compassion –

it matches so well with a good dose of fashion!’

Claris: The Chicest Mouse in Paris is the first picture book in the dazzling series for fans of Madeleine, Fancy Nancy, Eloise and Olivia.
