Each year for Christmas, amidst the various toys that the kids ask for I always try to make sure my kids each get at least one book under the tree. Both of my kids are great readers and generally ask for a few anyway, but even if they did not, this is one tradition that I could not get rid of. After all, is there truly a better gift we can give our children than the joy of reading? I don't think so. So each year, I look for just the right book for each of my children--- something that I know will capture their interests. For my son, that's typically latest in one of his favorite series. For my daughter, I look for something as sparkly, girly and fun as she is.
One such series is the Claris: The Chicest Mouse in Paris series. Earlier in the fall, we were introduced to the series through it's most recent addition Holiday Heist. We absolutely fell in love with this stunning book. Not only were the illustrations beautiful and fashionable... but they were so fashionable in fact that they included real life fashion brands like Cartier. My fashion loving daughter could not get enough. It left us wanting more.
Needless to say we were more than thrilled to have the chance to check out the rest of the series. We had high expectations and couldn't wait to see if they lived up to the one we'd already read. The verdict? They absolutely, one hundred percent DO! They were fantastic, fancy and oh so beautiful. My daughter is in that stage where she can read chapter books but still enjoys picture books as well, and these have very quickly become her favorites and one that I am certain she will keep and read for a long, long time.
If you have a little girl in your life that loves Paris, fashion and/or all things fancy, this is one series you definitely want to check out.
