It doesn't take long before Gloria is wearing the outfit for play. Disaster strikes quickly in the form of a big lime green stain on the front of the dress. How will she keep this stain hidden and still wear the dress at the wedding?
This story vividly reminded me of the many times I dressed my children in their finery and admonished them not to get it dirty. Ha, it never worked for long. Author Georgia Graham has written a charming story and the chalk pastel pictures are wonderful. They are colourful and full of rich detail. Even the inside of the cover paper contains a bonus drawing.

I first read the title as The Lime Green Sorbet. Oh the read-a-thon is breaking my brain.
Sounds like an entertaining book!
I remember this one from processing it at work -- I stopped to read it. I agree, very cute book.
This sounds charming. My youngest may lean more toward heavier chapter books now (finished the Harry Potter series a couple weeks ago) but my nieces love picture books, will look for this one.
Good morning!
Great two books read! It's also nice to see picture books being reviewed; children are the readers of tomorrow...
This sounds very good, and very much like something my kids and I could relate to! We have special towels for wrapping around my kids anytime they need to have something nice on for a special occasion. It's funny how none of their playclothes have paint on them but my son's school uniform and his suit both do.
