"Twenty-five years ago, I tried to convince my three-year-old daughter to wear white or blue stockings to nicely match the dress she was wearing. For reasons I couldn't fathom, she insisted on wearing her red ones." - KS

Red is Best gets it right. This is a true children's classic.

Ken Setterington, author, storyteller, Children and Youth Advocate

Delightful.

School Library Journal

This book is brilliantly written from a kid's point of view (i.e. "juice tastes better in the red cup"), so all kids will enjoy it. I thought it was a nice touch that Kelly's mom lost patience about having everything red. That is SO true!

And just for the record, my red sweater keeps me warmer, my red mitts make better snowballs, my red shoes make my feet dance, my red socks make my toes wiggle.....

Such a cute book! This is a tiny little book that you can fit in your pocket or purse. The story is super cute and my four year old daughter really likes it. It makes a really nice stocking stuffer or small gift tucked inside a Christmas card.
