Review Quotes Selected for the CBC's 2023 September Hot Off The Press Reading List (https: //www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/september-2023/) ""A clever cheeky book to help you pick your clothes or add some hilarious flair. Some over the top outfits and others get it just right for the weather, event, sport, school or sleep."" --Librarian, Neill Public Library ""Presented for your delectation; a group of people who visit different situations and are inable to dress correctly. On the opposing page we are presented with clothes that are (literally) better suited to tyhe occasion. Lovingly illustrated, with lots of detail."" --Alexander Peterhans, Reviewer ""The adorable book What Should I Wear Now is a fun way to teach kids the important skill of picking out an outfit for any occasion, whether going to the swimming pool, the theater, or a wedding. Meet silly characters who are doing it all wrong, then laugh and help them pick the right thing."" --Read with a Rescue, IG ""What Should I Wear Now is a charming and silly book that shows what to wear (and NOT to wear) for different activities. This book will keep you smiling with these entertaining mixups and such a fun way to look at fashion too. We loved making up our own scenarios like wearing our ballet outfits while gardening or swimming in our pajamas!"" --Brightwish Books, IG ""What Should I Wear Now? would be perfect if you also have a child who cares about their clothes. On the left side of each spread a situation is introduced (an evening at the theater, a tennis match, a classroom) and a person is wearing an outfit that doesn't quite fit the occasion. Appropriate clothing is shown on the opposite page allowing youngsters to point out what each person should be wearing, while also reinforcing names for common garments and accessories. What Should I Wear Now? would be fun to read with your child; you both may just dissolve into giggles."" --Kids Read the World, IG About the Author Children's book author Jana Sedlackova enjoys, among other things, singing in a choir and decorating gingerbread during Christmas.
