A cute little story! A strong-willed little girl knows exactly what she wants to wear and sticks to it despite the pressure from family members to wear something less fancy. I was charmed by the closing pages that reveal that sticking to her choice of clothing is not just a whim of childish stubbornness on Ella Sarah's part. ( )

This is about a girl who knows what she wants to wear and all of her family wants to wear something different, but in the end, we come to find all of her friends are wearing the same thing. This I would use in my class to present individualism. Good for ages 1st-2nd ( )

Charming story of a young person who insists on wearing an assemblage of wildly clashing clothes. I liked the subtlety of her increasingly impatient repetitions of "No. I want to wear my ....", and her stubbornness, and the way we all realize at the end that she was absolutely right to insist on her outfit.
