SNIPPET: Where does underwear go? On your chest? No. On your head? No, no, NO! Underwear goes on your bottom. That's where underwear goes. Underwear on your bottom!
This super-cute, interactive concept book is skillfully aimed at toddlers who are learning to dress themselves as well as learning pre-reading and reading skills. Important words are written in blue and/or bolded, for recognition and repetition allows the child to become familiar with them. Chris Robertson's engaging art spreads feature active, bright and bold illustrations of adorable, multi-cultural children and their pets, which keep the listener entertained. In addition to identifying clothing, the reader will learn body parts which increases the take-away value of this book.
Children will surely have fun calling out their answers to the questions in this book. A great read for parent/child, grandparent/child, librarian/child or preschool teacher/child to share.

LOVE this book!
Now those are funny illustrations! Kids are going to want this book read to them many times. And as the underpants is only one spread, I'm looking forward to seeing the many creative ways the author and illustrator handle the rest of this little tyke's wardrobe. Thank you for a fun picture book review.
