This is a brightly coloured and giddy little story, which doesn't take a lot of reading. A little girl called Nina likes dresses - I was not a dressy girl, but I still liked a few pretty dresses. When Nina can't choose which dress she likes best, and wants to wear them all at once, what will happen?
The heroines of the story are actually her friends, who care about her feelings and try to help her. So that is a good lesson.
I downloaded an ARC and in my copy, the text formatting is strange - I was reading in Kindle on the PC. I am sure it works perfectly as a physical book, and the text may have already been sorted out in the file.
I see this is also available as a colouring book, and that is a fantastic idea.
This is an unbiased review. I enjoyed the read and recommend it for girls under six.

Nina's 20 Dresses by Maria Ragone
Illustrated by Maria Angelica Guerrero
I knew my daughter would relate to this story. She often has lots of dresses lined up on her bed and can't decide which one to wear!
Nina decides that as she can’t choose a dress, she will wear all of them! Unfortunately this was trickier than she thought and it was impossible to dance and twirl with them all on.
Luckily Nina has some great friends who make her a unique special dress out of the scraps of each of her dresses. Now Nina can wear them all at once!
This is a lovely funny story and demonstrates the qualities of a great friend. Nina's friends knew just how to cheer her up! My daughter loved the illustrations of the different dresses. She also loves sewing and creating new items of clothing for her dolls so this has given her some new ideas!
