If this book is read with props and some good acting the kids will love to see you put your clothes 0n Upside down.

This is a super quick book that will make you laugh. It is silly and the illustrations are simple (in that there's not much in the way of setting or background) but fun.

Really cute, funny, and detailed illustrations!

I don't know if you've had the experience of reading a kids picture book and actually cracking up, but this one does it for me. Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing is a lesser-known title by the same duo that created the runaway bestseller Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, which was the basis for the box-office sensation movie series by the same name.

It's a board book, so your mind thinks "toddler-level," but it's actually pretty sophisticated humor.

Each spread is a different example of why animals should definitely not wear clothing. The running gag is that the animals can't functionally wear the clothes (or it is unnecessary for them to do so) because of something intrinsic to the anatomy of the animal or some attribute of the animal or its behavior. In other words, it's not enough to know what pants are and to be able to tact them, or what a chicken is, or what an egg is, you have to understand that if a chicken is wearing pants, it can't lay an egg.

I wouldn't say that a child needs to fully understand this complex synthesis of concepts before you try reading this book, but I would say that tacting the elements (animals, body parts, and articles of clothing) is something that ideally should be mastered (with emerging skills in function of objects). That way, when you model laughing and explain the joke, your explanation lands: "The snake has no legs! You need legs for pajamas. That's so silly."

I review books for children from the perspective of a parent of kids with autism. The review above is part of a longer blog post, "7 seriously funny picture books": http://www.lineupthebooks.com/two-sil...

This is a really cute book!

We thought this book was funny and cute to see how each animal would look in clothes and why they shouldn't wear any

Matte paper.

Super cute read for younger or older children. Book has large, bold print for viewing and easy concept for children as it pertains to clothing.

This one was a bit cute. I found the paradigm between humans and animals really funny.

Also, the illustrations were so retro and nostalgic, so you know that your homie fell for THAT.

This book is an easy read that would be very enjoyable for young kids. its funny and simple and the illustrations are cute and captivating,i enjoyed this read and i know children will too.

Brilliantly funny and silly. Wonderful illustrations.
