Dressing up: a personalized story with your child as the hero

Digging through a costume box allows kids to step into a hundred different worlds before lunchtime. This story follows your child as they try on hats, capes, and colorful scarves to become whoever they want to be. It is a wonderful celebration of imagination, where an old blanket becomes a royal gown and a cardboard box turns into a spaceship.

Children aged 3 to 5 love this subject, as role play and costumes are a big part of how they play.
