Fred Gets Dressed

Peter Brown

Fred likes running around the house without clothes until he finds his way into his parents’ closet. He first considers dressing like his dad, then tries his mom’s clothes and decides that choice is more fun. Fred adds a pearl necklace and experiments with makeup before his parents enter the room. After an uncertain moment, they smile. His mother shows him how to use makeup, and soon the whole family joins Fred’s dress-up play.

Cover of The Very Hungry PlantThe Very Hungry PlantRenato MoriconiA carnivorous plant begins by swallowing small creatures, including a caterpillar, butterfly, spider, and gecko. Its appetite continues as it consumes increasingly large and fantastical subjects, from a gymnast and airplane to aliens and an angel choir. The plant grows with every meal until it finally rests, apparently full. Then an enormous herbivorous dinosaur slowly eats the plant across wordless spreads. Acrylic artwork shows the plant’s expanding size, while oversized painted lettering carries the text.Picture Books for Young ChildrenOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
