Sue Fliess

"The moment I opened the pages and began to read, I knew I was going to love this book... it rhymed! And what girl doesn't like shopping. I actually used this book in a writing lesson. I found not only did the kids love the story but I could use it as a teaching tool. My writing lesson on adjectives and descriptive words was a hit."

"Instant hit. The illustrations are full of color and sparkle and shine. Everything a 3yo with a strong fashion sense could possibly want. The rhyming text is easy to read aloud, while including a multitude of adjectives and attributes on each page."

"Well-paced with rhyming text, this makes for a terrific read aloud. That rhyming and limited text format, accompanied by great picture clues, also make this an excellent choice for emerging readers. I love when a picture book presents little teachable moments about writing"

"a fun and RELEVANT picture book that captures some of the excitement - and frustration - of back-to-school shopping."

"A perfect book to begin the school year."

4 Children's Books That Rock: "In this very cute and exciting book, Hippo needs a new dress, which she's finally old enough to choose. But there are so many choices! The rhyming and the excitement of being "big enough" get him [reviewer's son] every time." ~Alicia Harper, Mamarama: Redbook's Mom Blog Council

"Budding fashionistas will enjoy this rollicking rhyme!"

"The new picture book A Dress for Me! by Sue Fliess and illustrated by Mike Laughead is a perfect anecdote to all the maleness that surrounds me. Told in flawless rhyme, this time Hippo is search of a new dress for school."

"4 1/2 year old reviewer Sienna says: The best part was when: "She finds the dress." Three words that best describe this book are: “Awesome and fun!” My favorite line or phrase in the book is: “This dress looks like grandma’s rug.”"
