Synopsis
I'm a hand-me-down sweatshirt
with zipper and hood.
I'm everyone's favorite
and still looking good.
Clothes take on a personality all their own in this "fashionable" poetry collection. A colorful array of outfits are brought to vivid life by Alice Schertle's wry poetry and Petra Mathers's exuberant cast of animal characters. From Joshua's cozy jammies to Emily's frilly undies, the duds on display in this perfectly stitched poetry collection are as unique as the critters who wear them. Giggles galore!

Review
". . . these creatures have personality, exuberance and high style that perfectly match the verses. Loads of fun."--Kirkus, starred review
"From delicately comical to downright funny, the art perfectly reflects the contagiously rhythmic, playful verse. Made for sharing, and worth learning by heart, too."--Horn Book, starred review ". . . these poems will give readers a new perspective on getting dressed . . . Playful spreads and spot art suit the small, snappy verses beautifully. This whimsical little volume will make a delightful addition to poetry collections."--School Library Journal, starred review "The whimsical illustrations pair perfectly with the wittiness of the text, and the whole is a clever and original poetic treat."--Booklist, starred review ". . . enjoyable sound effects . . . Tone varies from sturdy support of 'Bob's Bicycle Helmet' . . . to the playfulness of 'Wanda's Swimsuit . . . the extraordinary precision of Mather's [sic] delicate brush strokes result in collagelike textures and crisp solidity . . . sure to tickle youngsters."--The Bulletin"Here's a match made in children's-book Heaven: esteemed poet Schertle (All You Need for a Snowman) and Mathers, the artist behind the Lottie's World (the charming chicken) books . . . Full of surprises, perhaps a sniffle, and plenty of cheer ("Everybody clap your hands, / everybody shout, / Bill's got his jacket on, / LET'S GO OUT!"), this one will be in constant demand."--PW Shelf Awareness
