Praise for the Claris series:

'A charming tale about a mouse who takes a chance to follow her dreams and live in Paris . Written and illustrated by a well known fashion illustrator, this book is bursting with splashes of color, gold accents, and trademark fashion icons. VERDICT Recommended as a general purchase where Fancy Nancy and Angelina Ballerina and all things pink are popular.' –School Library Journal, Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh

'[Megan Hess] has obviously had lots of fun creating charming pictures that are alive with movement and colour; little Claris is chic and adorable ... Hess also has a talent for a playful rhyme which ensures the story is a charming read aloud for kids 2+.' –Readings

'I just adore Claris! She is such a sweet and lovely little mouse ... She is the epitome of elegance and refinement, but with a heart of compassion and humility. ★★★★★' –Luminous Libro
