(4) K-3 Illustrated by Liz Murphy. Each year, a grandmother alters a dress she made for her granddaughter, to suit the girl's changing size and fashion sense--and to do her part for the environment. The book's purposefulness prevents the narrating granddaughter from being anything but a mouthpiece. Regardless, the premise is original, and readers will eagerly turn pages to see the ever-morphing frock shown in mixed-media illustrations.
