A Pattern for Pepper

(4) K-3 When Pepper needs a new dress for Grandma's birthday tea, her mother takes her to Mr. Taylor's shop, where she must select a fabric: herringbone, seersucker, etc.; this proves challenging (e.g., "Too plain for me"). The art is sensational--Kraulis uses the patterns considered as her pages' backgrounds--but the text amounts to little more than an introduction to textiles.
