Ann Likes Red

Dorothy Z. Seymour. Purple House Press, $9.95 (28pp) ISBN 978-1-930900-12-7

Originally published in 1965, Ann Likes Red by Dorothy Z. Seymour uses 16 simple words to tell the story of an independent girl determined to suit up in her favorite color. "" `A blue dress, Ann?'/ `I like red,' said Ann./ Red! Red! Red!/ `A red dress instead,' said Ann."" Nancy Meyerhoff's b&w (and red) line drawings retain their 60s style with universal appeal. ( Oct.)
