Clever use of clothes vocabulary and different animals. primary-picture-books2 s Stephanie Bange1,662 16

The ever-inventive Taro Gomi offers this first look at clothes and the need to get dressed in a story for toddlers. First published in 1980 in Japan, it is now available in English.

Nine different animals' natural covering is compared to an article of clothing, for example Sheep wears a fluffy jacket, Goldfish wears a tie-dye skirt, and Snake wears a snug stocking. While a few comparisons take a bit of imagination to understand (Rhino in a warm coat and Duck in a fancy cardigan), some readers may find it shocking to see a naked little boy (who gets dressed the next page) and think this over the top.

Gomi's flat artwork is stunning as ever. He uses bold, saturated colors as background behind each animal so they pop. Combined with the simple text, this is great to use with other board books about getting dressed.

I have just discovered Taro Gomi's books with colorful bright illustrations. This one is on exception. Yes, all animals have different types of skin coverings and Gomi does bright colorful
illustrations of various animals and their "clothing". And a surprise ending, what does the young boy need to be wearing?board-book picture-books read2017-picbk1 Andrés475

I was not prepared for the anatomically correct illustration of a naked boy at the end. I might have reviewed higher if that illustration was more modest (underwear, maybe?) because, I agree that shifting to an undressed child could have been a pleasantly surprising twist that could engage a little one to think about their own clothes. The animal "clothes" throughout are clever. Molly2,923

So cute. The text is creative (although the rhino's warm coat is a head-scratcher for me), the pictures are engaging, and it really gets into clothing vocabulary. There's also a cute surprise ending.juvenile-books picture-books Jenn2,286 9

A good picture book to read to a baby with an older sibling...because the older sibling will understand how funny the text is. Not geared for babies.board-books Peacegal10.8k 108

Eight different animals wearing their natural clothing--a fluffy jacket for a sheep and a tie-dye skirt for a fish, for instance--are featured in this board book. But then a small naked boy appears, and readers will feel jarred since he has not a shred of clothing on his body. The last page shows him climbing into his shirt and pants. This amusing and colorful book might be of great use to parents trying to persuade their youngsters to put on some clothing. While running around the house naked might be liberating and fun, it might shock the neighbors and eventually, clothing is necessary if one ventures outdoors. That brisk breeze can be murder on uncovered skin. animals board-books humor ...more Laela830 22
