Sarah May & the New Red Dress,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionSarah May needs a new dress. She longs for a red one, but Mother and Father insist that it must be made of a cheap material that doesn't show the dirt. A new dress of dismal blue is made. Sarah May and her friend the West Wind get together, and with a touch of mischief and the help of the weather, the longed for red dress becomes reality.From Publishers Weekly'I wasn't always Grandma, you know, bespectacled and stiffkneed.' So begins an elderly woman's reminiscence of a small but seminal childhood episode. When Sarah May needs a new dress, her parents speak in practical terms. It must be economical and sturdy; but Sarah whispers her secret desire to the everpresent West Wind: 'Please, let it be a red dress.' Sadly, the dresses hanging in Mr. Corbett's general store are too expensive, and the girl patiently and uncomplainingly settles for a homemade creation in 'dismal blue.' A rain storm helps transform the dress into the garment of the girl's hopes, streaking the blue dye enough that her mother can dye the gown red (why the parents didn't buy red cloth in the first place goes unexplained). Spalding's (Finders Keepers) personification of the wind puffs up the text: 'I could hear the wind laughing in the bell tower.... 'Watch this,' chuckled the West Wind, and it began to blow.' Wilson (Selina and Bear Paw Quilt) extends the conceit by giving the wind a palpable presence in her watercolors (e.g., its 'face' peeks from the clouds); she also sweetens the story by making the 'dark' and 'dismal' blue a chipper, birdfeather hue. All in all, this overearnest story may appeal more to nostalgic grandparents than to kids. Ages 48.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
