Bridget's Beret

I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good,

A review of "Bridget's Beret" by Tom Lichtenheld.

This book is about a little girl named Bridget that loves to draw, she pretty much draws everywhere and all the time. She also wears a beret for inspiration and she does not want to draw unless she has it on, or she can't draw without it is what she believes. The wind blows hard one day, blowing her beret off her head and sending it who knows where, she searches high and low for it, she even files a Missing Beret Report! She tries on multiple hats but none of them seem right, or even give her a little bit of inspiration! She feels that without her beret she can no longer draw! A group of girls ask her to make signs for their Lemonade stand, and things change from there. She finds herself drawing pictures on the signs without even meaning to! She makes tons of pictures and turns out the beret was not necessary for her to draw!
Evaluation:
I think this book would be perfect for ages six to eight, and I think it's adorable and can teach them a little bit! I think it'll help show kids that their attachment to things isn't contributing to what makes them good, such as the beret and drawing with Bridget. I think the pictures are adorably made and very bright, embracing what children would really enjoy. Just the captions and when she tries on the other hats is perfect for children also!
