From long johns to bloomers, Y-fronts to boxers - Animal Pants is quite simply packed with pants! There's a cat who buys her pants from a catalogue and a frog who wears pants when he's off for a jog. Not to mention a penguin with frozen pants, or the difficulties of finding undies for an octopus. With an infectious rhyming text from the brilliant Brian Moses, and wonderfully entertaining artwork by Anja Boretzki, there's a giggle guaranteed on every page.
"Each rhyming couplet is illustrated with a funny picture that matches the silly mood of the text. This simple book may appeal to toddlers who are contemplating trying on underpants themselves." --School Library Journal
