Ella Sarah Gets Dressed
By Margaret Chodos-Irvine
Ella Sarah Gets Dressed by Margaret Chodos-Irvine is a story about a little girl that wants to wear un-matching clothes. Her mom, dad and sister try to talk her out of it by picking out other clothes and asking her if she wants to wear them. Each time Ella Sarah gets more upset and says "NO!". At the end of the story she wears the un-matching clothes she wants. Her friends come over to play and they are all dressed in clothes they picked out that do not match either. I think this story would be a fun read aloud to K-1 because a lot of those kids can relate to this story. Many students in K-1 want to pick out their own clothes and their parents want them to wear something different. I really liked how the pictures in this story emphasized Ella Sarah, the main character. Though the other characters were in the book, they were drawn large so that their heads didn't fit on the page. The only face you saw was Ella Sarah's. This would be a great book to use to introduce main characters since she is so easily identified.
