(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rex Ray. Bailey is obsessed with fabulous frocks, but his mother and father, in turn, remind him that "boys don't wear dresses!" The text refers to the character in the feminine ("Bailey went to her room"), which may confound--or call to--the readership at which this well-meaning book is pitched. The cut-paper illustrations are as stylish as Bailey.
