Perfect picture book to help stoke the imaginations and ambitions of the little girls in your life. Colorful, fun, and with social commentary. The mini biographies in the book of the famous women mentioned throughout definitely makes Every Day Dress Up a welcome addition to any personal library. I intend on buying this book for my daughters and reading it at every story time I get! (
