Fred Gets Dressed-Blog Tour/Excerpt/Giveaway



I am thrilled to be part of the tour for FRED GETS DRESSED by PETER BROWN hosted by Rock Star Book Tours. Check out all the info below and stay tuned for a giveaway after you're done reading. Good luck and happy reading!






From a New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott-honor-winning artist comes an exuberant illustrated story about playing dress-up, having fun, and feeling free.


The boy loves to be naked. He romps around his house naked and wild and free. Until he romps into his parents' closet and is inspired to get dressed. First, he tries on his dad's clothes, but they don't fit well. Then he tries on his mom's clothes, and wow! The boy looks great. He looks through his mom's jewelry and makeup and tries that on, too. When he's discovered by his mother and father, the whole family (including the dog!) gets in on the fun, and they all get dressed together.


This charming and humorous story was inspired by bestselling and award-winning author Peter Brown's own childhood and highlights nontraditional gender roles and self-expression.






I mean, how cute is this book? My son enjoyed the pictures; he loved the artwork and how colorful and fun they were. As a kid who loves to go in the buff, he LOVED the scenes with Fred in his birthday suit.




FRED GETS DRESSED releases on May 4th. it is published by Little Brown for Young Readers and is the perfect addition to your library.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Peter Brown is an American writer and illustrator who is best known for children's picture books.


"Peter has always loved telling stories. Growing up in New Jersey, he told stories by drawing whimsical characters and scenes from his imagination. Then, as a teenager, he fell in love with writing and told his tales with words. While studying illustration at Art Center College of Design, Peter’s love of both words and pictures led him to take several courses on children’s books, and before long he knew he’d found his calling.


After graduating from Art Center Peter moved to New York City to be closer to the publishing industry. He was working on animated TV shows when he signed a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book, Flight of the Dodo. Peter quickly signed up for his second and third books, and his career as an author and illustrator of children’s books was underway.


Peter’s books have earned him numerous honors, including a Caldecott Honor (2013) for Creepy Carrots!, two E.B. White Awards and an E.B. White Honor, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book award, a Children’s Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, and five New York Times bestsellers.


Peter lives in Brooklyn, New York.
