A Pattern for Pepper
Hardcover, 40 pages
Published August 1st 2017 by Tundra Books (NY)
Goodreads synopsis:
Pepper is getting a dress made for a special occasion. It's the first dress that has ever been made just for her, and she wants it to be perfect. But what pattern is right for her? Pepper is particular, and nothing works at first. Dotted Swiss? Too plain. Houndstooth? Not enough color. Pinstripe? Too glum. As Pepper learns about each fabric, she finds a reason why it's just not the one. Will Pepper ever be able to find the perfect pattern?
Julie Kraulis takes readers on a journey through gorgeous patterns and their origins--from the mountains of Switzerland to the green grass of Scotland--in search of Pepper's ideal pattern. The incredible illustrations make for a dress, a character and a book that are impossible to forget.

4.5 Stars
This is a picture book with a smattering of words by Julie Kraulis.
This children’s book is super cute and created to be read to a child instead of a child reading the book themselves. This is showcasing all the different patterns that the tailor can use to create Pepper’s dress. Houndstooth, Striped, Harringbone, etc.
This illustrations in this are what makes it wonderful. They sure do pop and bring out the quirky character of Pepper. This would be a great gift for a child and one I am sure they will want you to read over and over to them.
If you adore the fantastic illustrations in children’s books, definitely pick this one up.
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
