Pants

What do our readers think of Pants? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children laugh at the silly idea of animals and people wearing all kinds of pants, and they enjoy the bright pictures and bouncy rhymes. They often want to hear it again and join in with the words.

What does the Pageticker team say about Pants?

Pants is a gloriously silly celebration of underwear, powered by Giles Andreae’s bouncy rhymes and Nick Sharratt’s bright, mischievous illustrations. We think it is particularly effective as a read-aloud for toddlers and pre-schoolers, with plenty of opportunities to spot colours, patterns, sizes and animals. Adults should expect enthusiastic giggling and possibly a sudden interest in showing off everyone’s pants.
