Review

Sisters Ava, Isabelle, Charlie Ann and Poppy are excited about shopping for school clothes. They all know precisely what they want, from all things princessy, purply or cowgirl to polka dots. Poppy is the youngest and she definitely loves polka dots. When shopping day comes, everyone is able to find exactly what they want except for little Poppy. She is so unhappy. The next morning, when Mom dresses Poppy, she finds a polka dot outfit in Poppy's drawers. Where did it come from? Creative sisterly love has come to the rescue! With bold, content-filled illustrations and the color words in appropriate colored text, this will be a good addition to picture book shelves everywhere.

Overall Book Score: very good
