Brave Irene by William Steig
Ages 4-6
Mother is sick and can't deliver the beautiful gown she has just sewn for the Duchess. Now, her daughter Irene has a job to do, make sure the Duchess gets her special gown for the ball. Irene is a determined character. She does not want to disappoint her mother or the Duchess. So off she goes, Irene is not going to let a snowstorm stop her. Even if that means, wind that is trying to rip the dress from her hands, snow up to her knees and eventually over her head. Who will win, Irene or this bully of a storm?
A very enjoyable read, you can feel the wind and cold as if you're braving the snow right along side Irene. I love the bit of suspense you feel when reading this book. It's always great to have a happy ending, but this story keeps you guessing!
