The Hundred Dresses

Everyone should read The Hundred Dresses because it teaches you not to tease people.
It's about a girl who is very poor and she says she has a hundred dresses all lined up in her closet, even though she only wears the same one every day to school.

The Hundred Dresses was very moving, and a great way to teach children about racism and prejudice as well as bullying. I love a story that can subtly teach a lesson instead of sounding preachy and trite.

There is even a guide to teaching the lessons from The Hundred Dresses in the classroom:
