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?Publisher: Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman BooksPublished: 03/05/2024Pages: 32ISBN: 9781665933681Age: Ages 4-8Review Citation(s): Booklist 12/01/2023 pg. 131School Library Journal 01/01/2024 pg. 49Kirkus Reviews
