What Shall I Wear Today?

Kids love to pick out their outfit to wear for day -- whether fancy clothes, play clothes, or a costume.  Here are some of my favorite picture books about clothes and getting dressed . . . .

Dog in Boots by Greg Gormley
After reading "Puss in Boots," an adventurous dog sets out to find the perfect pair of shoes to suit his every need.

Cat Knit by Jacob Grant
Cat struggles to adjust and find a way to overcome his disappointment when his best friend, Yarn, is transformed into an itchy, stuffy sweater that Cat initially despises.

This Is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen
A little fish thinks he can get away with stealing a hat.

Chamelia by Ethan Long
Chamelia loves to stand out and often wears outrageous outfits, but eventually she learns to shine in other ways.

Farmer Brown Shears His Sheep by Teri Sloat
Farmer Brown shears his sheep and has their wool made into yarn, but after they beg to have it back he knits the yarn into sweaters for them.
