Ella Sarah Gets Dressed is a story that celebrates the unique opinions that even young children have about themselves and the things they should do. During the story, it's (obviously) time for Ella Sarah to get dressed. She has an outfit in mind that she would like to wear. Each family member then tries to encourage Ella Sarah to wear one that he/she thinks is more appropriate; the mom suggests a dress, the dad suggests a basketball t-shirt, etc. But Ella Sarah thinks her outfit is the perfect one. Each reader will be able to identify with Ella Sarah and her need to express her own personality.
The pictures are vibrant and simple. Ella Sarah is the focus, and her "colorful" outfit is displayed in beautiful illustrations. This book would be a great addition to any library serving young elementary school children.
