Mad about Plaid

I have always been a big fan of the funny little details in children's books. Ms.McElmurry has definately satisfied this for me.I love the part when Madison is sitting on her "sterilized" couch after the assault and has her little "sterile" booties and mittens on and eating lo-plaid snacks! It's so adorable to look at over and over. And needless to say, her story is so imaginative with a mix of light and dark that I like too. Oh, and be sure to read all the signs on the stores when the town catches the germ they are very funny too. Great work Jill!

My second grade class loved this one! Super illustrations and great text (rhyming). Fun fun fun! You'll be reading and rereading this to your kids!

My daughter (almost 3) is mad about this book! She wants to read it constantly. It's a little curious in that the author seems to speak in verse sometimes and not other times, but that's a small quibble.

Join many others in greeting this wonderful new character intoyour life and the lives of children you love. Guaranteed to pleaseadults as well as children-- should be on Granny Alert for gifts and perusal. Go to your favorite bookstaore and ask to see it. The illustrations and wit make it a treat!

I thoughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a whimsical tale, perfect for a young child. The illistrations are charming and full of meticulous detail. This would be a perfect choice to read with a young child on a rainy, or as a bedtime story. This would be a wonderful choice for grandmothers and great-grandmothers to read or give to their grand children! I give it five stars :-)
