HAILEY’S WHITE DRESS
Written by Sigalit Benbenishti
Illustrated by Ambadi Kumar
Hailey is a young girl with a flair for fashion. She has a closet full of colorful dresses. One day her mother brings her a gift. Hailey is delighted to find a beautiful white dress decorated with flowers inside. She decides to save this dress for a special occasion, her upcoming birthday. When that day finally arrives, Hailey wears the dress and enjoys her birthday celebration with friends and family. Hailey’s neighbor notices a stain on the dress. Hailey tries to remove the stain. When she is unsuccessful, Hailey determinedly searches the internet for a solution to her dilemma. Hailey finds something guaranteed to work and eagerly awaits the washing machine cycle to finish. Will she get her dress back again, good as new?
I would describe this book as a beginning reader that will also appeal to reluctant readers. There are a few minor editing issues. The text is not overly challenging and there are lots of color illustrations to assist the reader. Recommended especially for young girls who love pretty dresses.

This looks like it could lend itself to some science themes like hypothesizing and testing out stain removing ideas. Thanks so much for linking this up at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com this week!

Great way to combine science with fashion! Love the concept although the fact there are editing issues concerns me a little in a children’s book
Thanks for linking up to #AnythingGoes 🙂
