Mary Had a Little Glam cover

Now in board book! “An exuberant . . . ode to the fun of fashion.” —Shelf Awareness

This little Mary has STYLE! In this fun take on Mother Goose, fashion-forward Mary helps some of childhood's most beloved characters go glam. From the kid who lives in a shoe (and dons some fab footwear, too) to Jack, who breaks his crown but gets a great new one, Mary's school friends look fantastic in their finery. But are they now too well dressed for recess? Not to worry—Mary always shows her flair for what to wear!

Praise for the hardcover edition of Mary Had a Little Glam

[a] fun and lively read-aloud.” —School Library Journal
