Just Add Glitter
By Angela DiTerlizzi
The Story
A little girl with a big imagination gets a mysterious package in the mail and starts sprinkling glitter on everything, until glitter is everywhere — and she and her best pal start disappearing into the sparkle.
Why It's Special
For the kid who thinks more is always better — more glitter, more stickers, more everything — this book turns that impulse into a gloriously messy adventure.
- Big idea: Imagination is powerful, but even the best things have a point where enough becomes too much.
- Vibes: Sparkly, silly, and a little chaotic, with rhyming lines that build like a sugar rush.
Perfect For Kids Who
- love rhyming, bouncy read-alouds
- enjoy crafts, sparkle, and dress-up play
- are working on knowing when enough is enough
- respond well to stories that build to a silly, over-the-top climax
