Red is Best gets it right. This is a true children's classic.
Ken Setterington, author, storyteller, Children and Youth Advocate
Delightful.
School Library Journal
In this charming book a child suffers the common miserable woe of being misunderstood. The little girl loves red. Juice tastes better in the red cup. The red stockings help her to jump higher, but alas her mom tells her she must wear the white stockings that match with the dress.
The simply drawn pictures, colored sparingly save for the red revered items send the message home just how special the child views these items.
