A Pattern for Pepper by Julie KraulisTundra Books
My thoughts: Pepper is totally adorable and very particular, as you will learn when you read the book. This book while taking through the ritual of a little girl picking out fabrics and patterns for her first custom made dress for a special occasion, also teaches you a lot. Who knew paisley was actually a pattern named after a place in Switzerland? I didn’t and I learned that from here along with facts about many more interesting patterns. As Pepper works with Mr.Taylor (the tailor!) to find the perfect pattern for herself, we are treated to learning the patterns, the process of dressmaking (in the simplest terms), and of how kids might make choices (which is pure fun!).
craft/sew/knit also enjoyed it – mainly for the information)

I checked out that BloggingForBooks.com site too. What I saw displayed only an obviously fake e-mail contact address for the site. If this is a legitimate program, what's the URL you used to sign up?
I like to link to other book reviews, but don't want to endorse anything spammy or discriminatory. So, no links unless/until I'm in this program too.
thanks Priscilla for the update, as i mentioned, has been a while since i created the list and need to clean it up.. i will take it up as an action item sometime this week.. and for that url, need to check my email, as of late, have been mainly reviewing on my blog/goodreads/netgalley/edelweiss…
