The little girl in this simple but exuberant story knows that red barrettes are best, "because they make my hair laugh."

This title is especially made for the lap audience. "My Mom doesn't understand about red. I like my red stockings best. My Mom says, "Wear these. Your white stockings look good with that dress. But I can jump higher in my red stockings. I like my red stockings best". This is a great deal of fun to read with pre-schoolers.
