PreS-Gr 1—This vertical picture book is an interactive dress-up adventure that keeps children guessing. For example, one page has labeled illustrations of several everyday objects and clothing (belt, soup pot, socks, sword). It unfolds into a spread that says, "Get dressed to read about dragons" and shows a little boy outfitted as a knight and absorbed in a book. His imagination comes alive through the whimsical depiction of two dragons, one on either side of him. The color cartoon illustrations are clear and inviting. A fun choice for small groups or one-on-one sharing, and a great extension for dress-up free play.—Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI
