The Hundred Dresses

De: Eleanor Estes

Narrado por: Bethany Lind

This Newbery Honor classic, illustrated by a Caldecott Medalist, is a beautifully written tribute to the power of kindness, acceptance, and standing up for what's right.

Wanda Petronski is ridiculed by her classmates for wearing the same faded blue dress every day. She claims she has one hundred dresses at home, but everyone knows she doesn’t. When Wanda is pulled out of school one day, the class feels terrible, and classmate Maddie decides that she is ""never going to stand by and say nothing again.""

A timeless, gentle tale about bullies, bystanders, and having the courage to speak up.

Thought provoking

an excellent an excellent way to make us think about including others. Old but timeless. Every generation could benefit from this story!

A+++ BOOK, questionable narration

This book is important for kids to read- a small group of 5th graders used this for a book study,
;the various revelations gave shock-awe, meaningful discussions were provoked, interesting vocabulary reviewed, etc. HOWEVER… How the narrator gave voice to Wanda was lacking, did her a disservice by making her sound anything other than soft spoken- she had her give gremlin vibes. Miss Mason/teacher’s voice was the epitome of nails-on-a-chalkboard awful. She might’ve considered reading the words of Mr.Petronski with an accent, to help get the sense of ‘broken’ English across. The narrator also mispronounced two names.
Please go forth nonetheless- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WAITING TO LISTEN TO The Letter to the Reader last- SPOILER ALERTS GALORE.

It was amazing ,thank you for all your hardn work and thank you for the story is it really true that happened to your mom in

It was amazing thank you for all your hard work and thank you for the story is it really true that happened to your mom in elementary school if so I love that book I read it about 20 times and that book was for school it was very good thank you

Every girl in America should read this!

This is a sweet easy to read story with a very deep meaning, it’s so strange to me how a story written so many years ago can often have the exact same meaning in the current day. It’s a lesson we all need to hear over and over and over again.
