The Gold Threaded Dress
Marsden, Carolyn
FIC .345 MAR
Grades 3-5--Fourth-grader Oy is the new girl in school. She wants to make friends, hold the pet hamster, and be
invited into the in-crowd's clubhouse. She would really like Frankie to stop calling her Chinese, because she's
Thai. When a photograph that shows her in ceremonial Thai dress falls on the ground, her classmates become
obsessively enchanted with this vision of her. The leader of the clique, Liliandra, demands the dress as Oy's
initiation fee to gain admittance into the clubhouse. An almost unbearable conflict ensues within her. The
treasured garment from her grandmother symbolizes familiar tradition and fond memories, but her need for
friends wins out. The girls carelessly grab at it and try pulling it on over their too-large bodies, and the delicate
fabric is stretched and torn. When the teacher is drawn over by all the commotion, Oy is humiliated at being
called the instigator of these antics. Crushed by the near destruction of her beautiful dress, she must now take
home a note telling her mother of the awful event. This is a simple story about the painstaking effort of trying to fit
in. It's a perfect choice to read with youngsters battling for friends, and caught within their own tangle of
popularity. The Gold-Threaded Dress will have its place as a favorite for its natural voice and development of
uncomfortable, yet familiar, predicaments. - From Library Journal
The Golden Goose
Grimm, Jacob. / Grimm, Wilhelm. / FIC .092 GRI
In this familiar plot, a third and simple son shares his food and drink with a little old man who holds the secret to
the tree where the golden goose hides. As the son trots along holding the goose, each person who touches it
becomes stuck. When the silly parade of seven reaches the King's palace, the princess, promised in marriage to
whomever makes her laugh, does so at the foolish sight. The story line holds true to the original except for
eliminating the three trials the King sets for the hero to keep him from marrying his daughter. Here, the story ends
with the hero making the princess laugh and marrying her. Characters have been personalized with names and
traits, language revised, and details added. The old man is a troll, beer becomes cider, and the goose is in the
area because of a magic spell. Even so, the text is brief and lacks a measure of enchantment. The dominating
acrylic-and-pencil illustrations appear as if a yellowish (or golden?) film has been imposed on them, paling the
colors for a muted effect. McDermott's effort at an old-fashioned style results in prettified scenes and faces of
children far too young to be married. The rendition of the tale by Uri Shulevitz (Farrar, 1995) relies on angular
shapes, peasant features, and a "stuck-on" rhyme to exaggerate the humor.
