Seymour Chwast celebrates the daily routine of getting dressed in this
fittingly whimsical and satisfyingly unique novelty book. Unlike more
traditional books on this topic that deal with the how of getting
dressed, Get Dressed! instead tackles the why. The text "Get dressed
to read about dragons" accompanies an illustration of a boy dressed in a
makeshift knight costume. A girl in full floral garb stands in a garden
alongside the text "Get dressed to hide." The book features half and
full gatefolds, which foreshadow the items of clothing to be seen and
provide surprise reveals on each spread. With a die-cut magnetic
closure, even the cover invites readers to peek inside!
Praise for Get Dressed!
"Chwast's wacky combinations are sure to encourage young fashionistas to
be comfortable with their own personal style. Even the cover, designed
as a suit jacket that fastens with a magnetic snap, invites readers to
open a world of possibilities. A clever, dapper package."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Young children will delight in pointing out which objects don't
necessarily belong with the others."
-The New York Times Book Review
