I Had a Favorite Dress

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Julia Denos. A girl wears her "favoritest" dress on her favorite day, Tuesday. When she outgrows the dress, Mama, with a "SNIP, SNIP, sew, sew" makes a shirt for the girl's new favorite day, Wednesday. The garment's subsequent iterations are each cherished until just one scrap--used creatively--remains. Though Ashburn's rhymes occasionally falter, their lightness is mirrored by Denos's girly mixed-media illustrations.
