It reminded me of this little boy I had in my class last year. We had this purple princess dress that he always put on during free choice. I always found it interesting that the other children who wanted the dress never told him that he was a boy and shouldn't wear dresses. I think that this book would be great to read to young children especially to little boys and show them all that it is okay to dress up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589270282895621919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596213776579029008.post-26825401914440969962013-04-13T12:51:19.537-07:002013-04-13T12:51:19.537-07:00This seems like a great book...it is nice to read ...This seems like a great book...it is nice to read an analysis of a book that is appropriate rather then all the inappropriate ones. This book breaks the gender stereotypes which is great! It shows children that it is okay to do things like are out of the norm for girls and boys.

It is like what you said anyone could read this book because it shows that not everyone is the same and that sometime breaking the rules is what is needed.

She dressed them in colorful clothes, and put scurf on their heads. We loved when they played with dolls, because we wanted them to be good fathers in the future.Vitaliy101https://www.blogger.com/profile/12259692103102468631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596213776579029008.post-34589636113408426042013-04-07T00:04:47.642-07:002013-04-07T00:04:47.642-07:00This seems like an amazing book, and you have a gr...This seems like an amazing book, and you have a great analysis to go along with it. I really like that it shows acceptance with clothes, gender, and skin tone. I liked the flash animation you have of the book. It's funny, but I don't think people would care if it was a story about a woman in say superman's clothes. People seem to fuss more if a boy wants to do typically feminine things than if a girl wants to do typically male things, and it's time we stopped having double standards -Goodwin HDev25Mandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468860981119703121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596213776579029008.post-37530327024312479822013-04-06T16:52:52.743-07:002013-04-06T16:52:52.743-07:00I like the message this book is trying to relate t...I like the message this book is trying to relate to its young readers about exploring their sexuality and non typical gender roles. It's great that this book is teaching young children to accept themselves for who they are even if it is different. This is the message I want to send to my children so now I think I will read it to them.

Although I have always tried to inforce the fact that there is no boy/girl only things sometimes they still come up with these feelings and comments. I will definintely try to look for this book to share with my children.
