Perfect for crafty kids and works well for Halloween, even though it's not holiday-specific. Nice friendship story.

Cute book about a girl whose two friends have totally different ideas about what to wear for the school book parade, and how she resolves it without disappointing anyone.

The annual book parade is around the corner and Chloe and her friends must prepare costumes based on their favorite book characters. But trouble arises when Chloe promises to be a monster with her friend Leo and then promises to be a fairy with her friend Emma. Chloe doesn't want to disappoint either friend, so what is she going to do?
First of all, what a great premise. We never had anything like a book costume parade when I was Chloe's age but I think I would have loved it. This is a really cute book and I loved that Chloe was so crafty and creative when it came to her costumes. I like that the book encourages kids to use their imaginations and make things. The story itself wasn't super original or exciting but it was cute and I think kids will like it. It was a bit predictable but I think that kids will like it.
As a crafty person myself, I think Crafty Chloe: Dress-Up Mess-Up is an adorable book to read to kids and get them in the crafting spirit. It would be fun to read this with a child and do some crafts to go with it. Definitely worth a read if you have children in your life.

Once again, I read a sequel before the original, but I don't think it matters in this case. There are some great themes in this story, like not being able to choose a favorite book, because there are too many good ones to select just one. Chloe indeed has a dilemma, which perhaps could have been solved with some honesty, but the end is satisfactory.

A simple and humorous story of Chloe who doesn't want to disappoint her two friends (a White boy named Leo and a Black girl named Emma--yay for having diverse friends!) who have very different ideas about what would be fun to dress up as for the Parade of Books.

This book is good for the issues of being true to yourself, problem-solving, and compromising.
