I had a favorite dress follows a little girl's favorite dress as it morphs from a dress to a skirt, to a tank top, etc. Her mother shows her ingenuity by continually transforming the little girls dress so she can always keep it with her. Very much like the giving tree but with a fashion twist.

It’s like a femme version of Joseph Had a Little Overcoat.

This book reminded me of myself and all of the clothes that I have saved since I was a child. I wish I had thought about turning them into different things to grow with me!

Lest anybody think I am All Boy All the Time, this great picture book about a style-conscious little girl and her crafty - in both senses of the word - mama almost made me wish I had little girl style crises in my own life. But alas. My boys will wear a pair of pants until it falls apart on them - not because they love those pants but because they have not actually noticed that their butts are visible through the holes in the seat.

A fun read for young fashionistas. I love the ways she comes up with to refashion her favorite so many times. Reminiscent of Joseph Had a Little Overcoat. Good read aloud and fun for crafting.

I absolutely LOVE this book!!!!! A cute story about using creativity to solve a problem. A girl loves her favorite dress, but it becomes too small for her. Her savvy mother shapes it into new things the girl can wear. As the girl grows, the dress is transformed into different wearable items.

A fun and fashionable read! Also contains lessons on not getting upset about small things, fixing problems, and reusing material!
