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!
