Rosebud and Red Flannel

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Beth Owens. Rosebud, a nightgown, considers Red Flannel, a pair of long johns who adores her, a "coarse fellow." After they get stranded on a clothesline together in a snowstorm, Red Flannel demonstrates chivalry, and Rosebud learns to treat him "as if he were her equal." The watercolor illustrations are careful and detailed, but the tale has little, if any, child appeal.
