The Dressing-Up Box

The Dressing-Up Box written by Mairi Mackinnon, illustrated by Kate Sheppard   I’d like to be a mermaid. I can sit on a rock. Or maybe a circus acrobat- I can get up on top. Perhaps I’ll be an artist. I can pick up a pen. Or how about a grizzly bear? I can dig a den. I’d like to sail the seven seas. I can mop a deck. Or watch me score the winning goal-I can kick at a net. I could be an explorer. I can pack a map. Or maybe a sleeping princess. Hush now! I can nap. Perhaps I’ll be a superstar chef? I can pick up a pan. I can be anything I like, I can, I can, I can!
