New ed. (1976)
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Patrice Barton. In rhyming verse, a little girl celebrates hand-me-down clothing, and imagines the past lives of "Clothes with a history. / Clothes with a mystery." This new edition features Hoberman's original text but offers brand-new illustrations; Barton is up to the challenge: her digitally assembled and painted pencil-sketch and mixed-media pictures are tender and have an ethereal glow.
Reviewer: Katrina Hedeen | Horn Book Magazine Issue: August, 1976
