Chodos-Irvine, Margaret. Ella Sarah Gets Dressed. New York: Harcourt, Inc., 2003.
Ella Sarah has one outfit that she wants to wear and she tells her family it is, “My pink polka-dot pants, my dress with orange-and-green flowers, my purple-and-blue striped socks, my yellow shoes, and my red hat.” As each of her family members try to talk her into wearing something else, she will not hear of it, because she has picked out the perfect outfit. The pictures are simple, but rewarding. The use of bold and bright illustrations helps bring much creativity to this book that just adds the perfect touch. The ending will have everyone laughing; especially those who love to play dress up. The creation of both the illustrations and storyline make this a perfect choice for a Caldecott Medal Honor book.
