Brave Irene

Bibliographic Information: Steig, W. (2007). The One and Only Shrek! Plus 5 Other Stories. New York, NY: Square Fish.

Brief Annotation: Irene is a young girl who, during the middle of a snowstorm, is given the responsibility of bringing the duchess her dress, made by Irene’s mother. On her way to the palace a gust of wind sweeps away the dress, leaving Irene scared, cold, and worried for she has lost the dress-or has she?

Genre: Storybook

Grade: K-3

Readers who will like this: Anyone who has felt the weight of responsibility; children who enjoy winter; children who find joy enchanted palace-like stories.

Response/Rating: 4; This was such a fun little book. The illustrations are just as I remember winter storms, and the way in which Irene first loses the dress, feels bad, and then as it reappears before she is invited to the ball, makes anyone feel happy.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: What do you like to do in the snow?
