It was ok but my favorite part was when Mrs. Mason got the letter from Wanda. Smart Peggy figured out that the pictures that Wanda sent them were pictures of Maddie and Peggy. My least favorite part was all the teasing that Maddie and Peggy did.

It was ok but I didn't like Peggy and Maddie teasing Wanda.

It's kind of sad because Peggy makes fun of Wanda. Maddie does not stand up for Wanda in the 100 Dresses game. I thought it was amazing that Wanda let Peggy and Maddie have one of her 100 dresses.

It teaches how you should treat your friends and it was really good.

The Hundred Dresses is about 3 girls named Maddie, Peggy, and Wanda. Wanda is new. She says she has 100 dresses. Peggy always says, "How many dresses do you have?" She says 100 but when she brings her 100 dresses it turns out that she draws her 100 dresses. Maddie and Peggy were amazed.

It was so good. I loved the characters and everything.
