Patrick's Polka-Dot Tights

Patrick’s tights are smooth and stretchy, purple and polkadotty, and absolutely perfect for pretend play. But Patrick’s tights aren’t his at all. They belong to his sister, Penelope, who does NOT deserve them. Author Kristen McCurry proves that a pair of tights and a little imagination can provide endless fun in this charming picture book about a boy’s creativity.
