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.
