About this listen

"Destined to become a beloved classic" – The I

A funny and frock-filled story for modern children who don't just want sequins and sparkles on their dresses, from the amazing Lily Murray and Jenny Lovlie.

Lucy and Aunt Augusta are dress shopping. And, at the Fabulous Fashion Store, there are dresses to suit just about everyone. There are fancy dresses, frilly dresses, stripy dresses, silly dresses, sun dresses, fun dresses, blue dresses, green. . . But Lucy doesn't care about frills or lace. She wants a dress WITH POCKETS. And as she wades through the titchy dresses, witchy dresses, very, very itchy dresses, she starts to worry about where she's going to put her leaves, and nettles, and delicate petals, her magical spells and beautiful shells. . . The hunt is on: will Lucy find the dress of her dreams?

A lighthearted story with a subtle feminist undertone that celebrates the joy of pockets, and how they can unleash the inquisitive, adventurous spirit of all young children.

Playful rhyming dialogue and intricate, enticing pictures perfectly convey the need for children’s clothes with inbuilt freedom to explore. (Imogen Russell Williams)
Our favourite picturebook of the year! A wonderful story about the importance of pockets, and of nurturing the inquisitive and adventurous streak in all children. A charming and important story, beautifully told and illustrated.
