Zoe Gets Ready

This easy picture book is fun, colorful and silly.  It’s about Zoe, a girl with a closet full of lovelies that certainly would impress even Fancy Nancy.  Most days, her parents get to pick out her clothes for school or soccer but today is Saturday and Zoe gets to decide.  What a dilemma!  Mom is calling up to her that it’s time to go but Zoe just can’t decide.  After all, each outfit will determine what kind of day she has, from a pocket day to a twirling day and everything in between.  She finally decides to wear it all and heads out for her day.  The illustrations are bright and comical, full of delightful details.  The language is descriptive and whimsical.  Many children can relate to Zoe’s desire for adventure as well as the dressing dilemma.  I think youngsters will enjoy hearing this book as a read aloud.
