No Cats in the Library

A stray cat follows her love of books all the way to a new library home in this charming debut picture book that’s “catnip for librarians and young book lovers alike” (School Library Journal, starred review). Clarisse is a clever cat who loves books. She may not understand the dark, squiggly lines, but she can’t get enough of the pictures.

One day, she stumbles upon a magical building where people walk in empty-handed and come out with an armload of books.

She has to find a way inside! There’s just one problem: NO CATS are allowed in the library!

That’s not going to stop clever Clarisse, though. Once she sneaks in, she stumbles upon exciting new stories and even helps a little girl practice reading aloud.

But when the librarian comes looking, will Clarisse be allowed to stay?
