i am super duper excited to read this! i was hinting to my hubby about christmas ideas and this is my first choice. it's hard for me to find a good read that interests me long enough. it's really hard these days with three little ones, so the book has to be extra special..this one is. i hope to find it under the tree :)
The Hundred Dresses...remember this one? i read this when i was younger and just fell in love with it. i found a very old copy of it at a thrift store for about a quarter and i was so happy. it's about a little girl, wanda, who wears the same blue dress everyday and claims to have a hundred dresses, but where? how? i love the message in this book and its simplicity. i plan on reading this to my daughter when she gets a bit older (it's about 70 pages or so). if you have a little one that wants a good read, this is perfect. you can find it
