Until the day she finds her dress is too short! Mama says, “Don’t make mountains out of molehills, make molehills out of mountains.” Snip, snip, the dress becomes a new ruffly shirt to wear on Wednesday. A sprightly, modernized and girly version of the Jewish folktale “The Tailor,” which also formed the foundation of Simms Taback’s Caldecott-winning Joseph Had a Little Overcoat.Īn unnamed girl recounts how every Tuesday, her favorite day, she wears her “favoritest” dress. For general network-type friending, please look for me on twitter or facebook- thanks!.

If I don't friend you back, it's probably because we don't read a lot of the same genre. In any event, I hope no book takes its rating personally :)Īlso, I prefer to use goodreads for its intended purpose- to give and find great book recommendations for the types of books I read. And no stars? Means I can't decide how I feel about the book and therefore I don't feel qualified to rate it. One star means I truly do not care for the book- sorry. Two stars might be books that I like in some way, but most likely have some particular aspect that I don't think was executed as well as it could have been. *Please note: I give 5 stars to books I adore and MUST own, 4 stars to books that will stay with me in some way and that I almost-adore, and 3 stars to books I like. Boni lives in the Upper Peninsula Of Michigan with her four children and manages a school-public library. In any event, I hope no book takes its rating p Boni Ashburn is the author of eight picture books, including Hush, Little Dragon and I Had A Favorite Dress.
