I HAD A FAVORITE DRESS by Boni Ashburn

What to do when a child’s favorite dress grows too short?  Make it a shirt, of course!  That is exactly what the mom in this fun tale does.  She even goes a few steps further as the sleeves become too tight, dress codes at school change, and the weather becomes cooler.  Children can watch as this little girl and her mom snip and sew a beloved dress into all sorts of different designs and accessories.  Combined with Julia Denos’ whimsical and bright illustrations, this story makes for a cute family read.  I Had a Favorite Dress can be found in the Easy Section under E ASH.
