Fashion-conscious young readers will appreciate the difficulty a little girl has deciding exactly which outfit she will wear. The challenge relating to the selection of the perfect outfit certainly doesn’t lie in a lack of options. Her wardrobe is carried by a character readers will never be able to identify because the pile rises well above her head and reveals only her feet and hands balancing the potential choices.
As the little girl models a number of options, it is clear each has its shortcoming. For example, one outfit is too purpley, one is too prickly, one is too tickly, and the manufacturing of the next is way too stitchy. The other outfits are too taggy, too baggy, or too feathery, and the next set is rejected for being too fancy, too spotty, too zippery, or too polka-dotty. It is not until the little girl finds the outfit that satisfies her top priority – comfort - that she is dressed to her satisfaction.
Too Purpley! is a sweet story with vibrant illustrations that will likely appeal to readers who are just learning how to express themselves through their clothes and beginning to appreciate the availability of books related to topics in which they may have an interest.
