Celebrate the holiday season with Claris in this best-selling Christmas adventure! The perfect gift might just be kindness, compassion and some festive spirit …

In New York for winter was chic little Claris.
She'd travelled so far from her maison in Paris!

Claris never imagined that this Christmas would involve a thrilling dash through the city to stop a cat burglar and save the day!

Featuring five additional pop-up scenes at the end of the storybook, Claris's Christmas Carousel is designed to stand up independently when its cover boards are tied back together with the ribbon closure. This wonderful book will be a keepsake for festive seasons to come.
