Claris and Monsieur Cat have to return a lost invitation to Fashion Week's greatest show. They go on an adventure across half of Paris to track down the fashionista who has lost their important invitation.

I loved the beautiful illustrations in this book! The colors are bright, and the lines are delicate. I did feel like some of the artwork is just cut and pasted from one page to the other with only a wardrobe change to make it different. I would have appreciated separate art for each page, instead of copies of the same facial expressions.

Sweet little Claris is adorable, and I love all her pretty clothes. She is the epitome of elegance and refinement, but with a heart of compassion and humility. She’s so cute!

The story kept my interest and made me laugh! The text is in rhyme, and it works pretty well. The rhymes aren’t always the best, but they are fine. The rhythm of each line doesn’t always exactly match, but it was okay. It’s not Milton or Shakespeare, but it does a good job of telling the story. (I have a pet peeve with children’s books being written in bad poetry, so I’m overly critical of this aspect of the writing. Other people would probably not notice it at all.)

This book is so adorable! I can’t wait to read more Claris books!
