Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Ella Sarah may be little, but she has a BIG sense of style--and it isn't at all like that of her mother, father, and older sister. Yet they all want her to dress just like them! Ella Sarah will have none of it--and when her flamboyantly dressed friends arrive, it's clear that Ella Sarah's favorite outfit is just right for her.

Margaret Chodos-Irvine's spirited story will gently nudge young children toward independence--providing plenty of exuberant colors and patterns to identify along the way.

Review:

"By conveying her heroine's perspective so convincingly, Chodos-Irvine makes the book's ending a triumph-and one that should strike a chord with dress-up fans everywhere." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"The exuberant illustrations...dance and tumble across the pages, adding emotion....This should be a hit at storytime or for one-on-one sharing." School Library Journal

Synopsis:

Ella Sarah asserts her independence even when her bigger family members want her to be just like them.

Cathy from Olympia, Washington, July 12, 2010 (view all comments by Cathy from Olympia, Washington)
Ella Sarah has VERY specific and definite plans about what she will wear-- and everyone in the family tries to talk her out of her elaborate outfit, offering their own suggestions. But Ella Sarah perseveres, and her outfit turns out just right after all.

Chodos-Orvine's vivid illustrations take the real honors (and, as a matter of fact Ella Sarah is a Caldecott Honor Book). This has become one of my favorite children's picture books. I plan to keep a copy even after the kids are grown!
