Madison Pratt is delighted to find a lonely plaid purse in the park one afternoon. "Don't worry. I'll take care of you," Madison says — but the purse's mad curse causes Madison, and her whole neighborhood, to turn plaid! Nobody knows what to do, and flipping the purse inside out doesn't help; all that does is spread the lining's sad blue all over the city. Will Madison's spunk and optimism help to reverse the curse before it's too late?
This jazzy rhyming story, filled with vivid colors and rich textures that enhance the story's humor, is just as bright and creative as its irresistible heroine. Veteran illustrator Jill McElmurry's first turn as an author uses appealing verse with unexpected rhythm, perfect for reading aloud. Kids will love studying all the details in the illustrations in this madcap tale of full of color and cleverness.
