This 79-page children's novel is part of the Sonlight curriculum for Kindergarten/1st grade. It is a story about two girls whose new classmate claims she has 100 dresses. The girls tease her about her claim, only to discover later that they were wrong. A great book for young girls to teach them to be kind to others, why other girls may brag, and why not to tease.

This is the first in the Isabel Dalhousie series, by the author of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, Alexander McCall Smith. The novel is set in Edinburgh, Scotland, and has a lot of cultural references. If you like The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency stories, you will probably like this, too.
