Fred Gets Dressed
Fred Gets Dressed | Peter Brown
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
From a New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott-honor winning artist comes an exuberant illustrated story about playing dress up, having fun, and feeling free. The boy loves to be naked. He romps around his house naked and wild and free. Until he romps into his parents' closet and is inspired to get dressed. First he tries on his dad's clothes, but they don't fit well. Then he tries on his mom's clothes, and wow! The boy looks great. He looks through his mom's jewelry and makeup and tries that on, too. When he's discovered by his mother and father, the whole family (including the dog!) get in on the fun, and they all get dressed together. This charming and humorous story was inspired by bestselling and award-winning author Peter Brown's own childhood, and highlights nontraditional gender roles and self-expression.

5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 This book is so going to show up on banned lists, and while that sucks, this book is so good. Fred like to run around the house naked. Until he wanders into mom and dads closet. Fred tries on Dad‘s clothes, but they don‘t fit. Then they try on mom‘s clothes. This do fit, and then Fred wanders to the make and jewelry. About the time Fred is making a mess, the parents walk in and join the fun.

LibrarianRyan This book was so awesome. it‘s about play. That anyone can play as anything. Could this be deeper meaning maybe, maybe not. The story keeps things simple so that all kids can see themselves, whether cis gender, trans, or non-binary. 3y
AkashaVampie All I could think of when I saw this pic is "It's naked time!!" It's a skit that Dana Carvey used to do about his kids. 3y
