I love finding any excuse to dress up. I have always loved dramatic play and it always intrigues me to see the kind of scenes children will re-inact when they get dressed up. Watching children engaged in dramatic play is a fantastic window into their world and how they percieve the wider world they are growing up in and trying to figure out!
So this book took got my attention straight away. Although it is not the most intriguing storyline, it is a great simple read that would be very suitable for a classroom or pre-school setting.
The story is set in a classroom with a teacher who has decided to have a dress up day with the children. He challenges each one of them to wear their most special outfit. Each of the children get busy deciding what they will wear, telling each other what they have decided to be and guessing what others might be.
This would be a great book to read to encourage and facilitate roll play, a special dress up session, or even a discussion around what kids might want to be when they grow up.
