Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 07/01/2014 PreS—The main character of this rhyming picture book, Sadie, combines her love for ultra-feminine fashion and the great outdoors in one big family camping trip: "Today we're going camping./Can't wait til we get there!/I'm thrilled about the things we'll do…/…and what I'm going to wear!" Pastel chalk and pencil outlines keep the visuals soft and delicate, while the text portrays Sadie as empowered and adventurous. She pitches the pup tent in ruffled pants, hunts for Bigfoot in a ballerina skirt, swims in her flowered underwear, and fantasizes about capturing Bigfoot by lassoing him with her seven strings of pearls. Along with the threat of Bigfoot, her little brother is never far out of the picture vacillating between frustration and wonder at his sister's unique and bold take on the camping experience. This enthusiastic take on girl power embraces having it all—with both strength and style.—Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
