Ann likes red. Red! Red! Red! Go shopping with Ann as her mother and the salespeople persuade her to choose a blue dress, a brown hat and tan sandals. Ann wants red instead! Composed of 16 simple words, this delightful story of an independent little girl who knows what she likes, is perfect for a beginning reader. Illustrated in red and black.
My mother bought me this book in a supermarket when I was six years old and I have never forgotten it. It is about a little girl who goes back-to-school shopping and insists on buying everything red. Evidently, I am not the only one who never forgot it..it has been reissued by popular demand. The book's author is a former 1st grade teacher who used limited vocabulary to create a primer for kindergartners and 1st graders. But I loved it because it is about self-determinism! -Julianne Moore, actor
