Ready for Summer (Ready For Series) - Hardcover

Praise for the series:
"Jocelyn's trademark collages are an important part of the four books. Appropriately, the clothing items are all clearly defined while usually being placed on a patterned or textured background. The background colors mirror the colors one normally sees during a particular season.... In addition to being a public library purchase, the Jocelyn quartet, if not received as a gift at baby showers, is a "must buy" by parents who want to introduce their very young children to the world of imagination contained in books." Highly Recommended
-- Canadian Review of Materials

Praise for Hannah's Collections:
"Tidy and temptingly tactile collages show the young heroine contemplating her many collections.... Pack rats should all be this artistic." -- Publishers Weekly

Praise for Hannah and the Seven Dresses:
"The vibrant collage art, using fabrics of every colour and texture is the perfect medium for this energetic story." -- Brandon Sun

What am I going to wear? The question that diverts us all is first presented in the toddler years when the mastery of getting dressed is a triumph and opinions about clothing are emphatic.

These four board books illustrated by collage-artist Marthe Jocelyn are a unique tribute to the colors, textures, and patterns that make clothes a child’s favorite pastime.

Ready for Summer displays a full wardrobe, introducing lovely words like turtleneck and galoshes, and allowing even the very young reader to be an expert on what should be worn next season.
