The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes Cited: Estes, E. //The Hundred Dresses.// 1422. Hartcourt Inc.

The hundred dresses is about a polish girl who is very poor, she wears the same faded blue dress to school everyday. One day a girl in class got a new dress and Wanda said she liked it and had 100 dresses all lined up in her closest. This started a trend that soon led to her moving away. Everyday at school Peggy would make fun of Wanda about her 100 dresses. Peggy just knew it was a lie because she was so poor. There was a drawing contest at school and Wanda drew 100 different dresses and entered them into the contest. Peggy and Mattie were amazed to see all of the beautiful drawings. Wanda won the contest but was no longer there to receive the metal because they had moved away so she would no longer be made fun of. In the end Peggy and Mattie realized how they were wrong to tease her and decided they would write a letter letting Wanda know they were sorry and how she won the contest and that they liked her drawings. Wanda returns the letter with her dress drawings given to each of the two girls.
