About This Book
When your preschooler is in a gloriously silly mood or is putting up a fight about getting dressed, this book offers the perfect, hilarious distraction. "Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing" presents a simple, absurd premise: what if animals tried to wear our clothes? The book hilariously illustrates why this is a terrible idea, from a porcupine poking holes in a coat to a snake slithering right out of its pants. This classic book sparks joy and imagination, providing pure entertainment while gently reinforcing why our bodies (and animal bodies) are just right the way they are. It’s a guaranteed giggle-fest for ages 3 to 7.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely focused on lighthearted, absurd humor.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler (3-5 years old) who loves slapstick, visual gags, and animals. It is also a perfect tool for a child who is currently resisting getting dressed, as it reframes the topic of clothing with humor and absurdity rather than commands.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold and its humor is instantly accessible. A very young or literal child might not immediately grasp the final joke about people being embarrassed, but it does not detract from the enjoyment of the preceding pages. A parent is in the midst of a power struggle over getting dressed. The child is refusing to put on a coat, pants, or shoes. Alternatively, the parent is simply looking for a book that is guaranteed to make their young child laugh out loud.
