The chicest new children's book doesn't take place in the land of Narnia or even an English rose garden (cough, cough, Madonna), but rather the magical, mystical floors of 4 Times Square. The Super Adventures of Sophie and the City: All in a Day’s Work is not an exposé, but a playful look at the famous fashion offices through the eyes of a child. The title-character tot doesn't cast spells— she encounters André Leon Talley (in a Louis Vuitton cloak, obvs) and fashion fairy godmother Isaac Mizrahi, who sports Swarovski crystal wings. Formerly with Vogue and Vanity Fair, author Kelly Florio Kasouf knows all about exploring the company's storied halls—she's the daughter of former president and C.E.O. of Condé Nast, Steven Florio, and the children's book is Kasouf's continuation of a project he started before his passing in 2007. Pick up your copy exclusively at Barneys to get a cute perspective of 4TS before the stampede of heels moves to the WTS. Can anyone say movie deal? (WWD)
