Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 28, 2013
Kate is a five year old , and like most children her age, she wants to be independent. Every morning her mom comes in to wake her up and wish her 'Good Morning'. She presents Kate with an outfit to wear that day, and Kate always wants to wear something else. Sometimes the clothes aren't right for the weather, but mom helps her get dressed and makes sure she is warm.It takes so long for Kate to get dressed and then eat breakfast, that by the time her dad gets her to school, they are late. Everyday they are late. This goes on for a while.One day mom came up with a good idea. She took Kate's favorite doll from the shelf and told Kate the dressy fairy would help her choose her outfit in the evening, and the next day, everything would be ready! Such a good idea and Kate loved it. What a smart mom!The author, Shulamit Zilerberg, has written a story that most parents can identify with. Helping children get dressed everyday can be a chore. The story is told well so every child and parent can identify. The illustrations by Mindy Liang are vivid and colorful. This depiction adds to the storyline , so that it becomes very real. Every parent will want to read this story to their child.Recommended. prisrob 11-28-13
