Kids’ Thorny Chapters & Soft Paws Loose Drop-Shoulder T-Shirt – Black, Navy & More

A black cat walks across a stack of old books under a crescent moon, with roses and pale flowers curling around it, and the words Thorny Chapters & Soft Paws wrapped around the design. It's a pretty, slightly dark print for the kid who likes stories with a little bite. The tee is loose, soft cotton, so it's easy to wear all day, to school, the library or a sleepover.

We picked this one for the mood. The print sits on the front, with the cat in mid-stride on the books, a crescent moon behind it, and roses and flowers framing both sides. On the darker shirts, the pale moon and flowers stand out.

The cotton is soft and the cut is loose, with a ribbed crewneck and short sleeves. It comes in Khaki, Purple, Black or Navy Blue. Wear it with jeans, cargo pants or a skirt.

For the kid who reads the spooky chapter first. The design has a dark academia and cottagecore feel, with roses, moonlight and old books, and it fits book lovers and cat people equally well. The darker colors give it a moody, gothic look, and the cotton is soft enough to live in. It makes a great gift for a young reader, and it's the tee they'll pick on library day.
