The Hundred Dresses November 27, 2010

Wanda Petronski wears the same faded blue dress to school every day, but insists she has a hundred bright, shiny new ones at home. As her story unfolds, her classmates learn the secret of the hundred dresses, and a lesson in tolerance, in taking responsibility, and in living with the consequences of our actions. An endearing tale for families based on the Newberry Honor Book by Eleanor Estes, 'The Hundred Dresses' tackles issues of bullying and how mistreating someone due to being different brings as much harm to the bully as to the victim.
