Ella Sarah Gets Dressed

Ella Sarah Gets Dressed is a Caldecott Honored Book that is written and illustrated by Margaret Chodos- Irvine. This book is written for 3 year old and up. It perfectly fits because Ella Sarah is a little preschooler becoming autonomous and independent. Ella Sarah wants to wear her pink polka-dot pants, her dress with orange-and-green flowers, her purple-and-blue stripe socks, her yellow shoes, and her red hat. After being rejected and suggested of other clothing from mom, dad, and older sister, Ella Sarah decided to wear it anyway. At the end of the story, her fancily dressed friends arrive at her house for a tea party. This book is cool for kids who are in this "I can do it myself" stage as well. This is great to show them that taking control of your own self and what you want to well is so important. If I was a Pre-k teacher, this would be an awesome book.
