Young children dress in different outfits and pretend that they are whom they are dressed as.

The idea and the art is cute. The writing is sweet and short. It is a very simple book and easy for kids to relate to.

Some of the writing rhymes and sometimes it does not but it tries to. Some sections are kinda clunky.

I think little kids ages 3 to 8 will absolutely enjoy this. It would be nice to read to kids and encourage them to learn about different jobs and maybe show them what each worker does. ( )

Dress Up Day
Children's book showing a little girl and it's dress up day as she goes about not only dressing up but other facts about the person she has dressed up.
Favorite is the farmer who she shows what kind of work she'd be doing in the vegetable gardens.
She dreams of other careers when she goes to sleep. ( )

Well-meaning but clunky, uninspired story of a little girl dressing up and imagining different possible futures. Of course, it starts with princess and is just about as creative as it goes along. It's hard to imagine that the author took more than 15 minutes to write it. The illustrations are nice, however. If you're looking for a much, much better children's book about female empowerment, please turn to "He Bear, She Bear" by the Berenstains. ( )

The text is simple and rhythmic with unobtrusive rhymes in Tina Marie Kaht’s Dress Up Day. And the illustrations are delightfully bright and full of detail. A small girl wakes in the morning and finds her mother “took all of it down, out of the bins...,” all of “it” being the fantasy items needed for a perfect day of let’s pretend. Friends join in the game, dark-haired and light, dark-skinned and fair, boys and girls, with plenty of imagined scenes, beautifully drawn and simply described. Not all children will find themselves represented, but they’ll enjoy watching for familiar faces to reappear, perhaps even making up names as the characters make up games. “Your mother will be proud of the person you will,” says the final page—a lovely message for any child, making this a lovely book to share with children everywhere.

Disclosure: The author gave me a free ecopy of this book and I’m offering my honest review. ( )
