MODULE : THE HUNDRED DRESSES II
The Hundred Dresses II- Introduction
In continuation of the previous lesson, “The Hundred Dresses II” reveals why Wanda
Petronski had not been coming to school. The Petronski family decided to move to a big city
where no one would care about their unfamiliar name. On hearing the note, Maddie and
Peggy got anxious as they realised that they would never get a chance for making amends
for all the teasing they had done. Both the girls get relieved only on learning that Wanda
liked them and had dedicated one of the hundred dresses (drawings) to each one of them.
