Jane's Jeans - Hardcover

by Janice Garden MacDonald (Author)

Jane has some ideas about how to dress and what to wear and that means JEANS! So, when her mother suggests she wear a frilly dress to visit her Grandma, Jane must think quick. You can't climb a tree in a dress, or ride a skateboard in a dress, she pleads.

Mom gently reminds Jane that she is loved, no matter what she wears. She is much more than her clothes.

Jane's scruffy little dog has his own idea of what to do with a pair of jeans and provides a surprise happy ending, that will keep kids smiling and reinforce Mom's valuable lesson. When Jane discovers that her little dog has chewed up her brand new jeans, she doesn't get angry, but finds a way to turn the ripped jeans into something new and beautiful.

Kids will learn about self-confidence, appreciation and sacrifice. There's even a subtle little plug for recycling!

Makes a great story for reluctant kids who don't want to dress up for Easter, Valentine's Day, birthdays or any other holiday or occassion. Easy text for early readers.
