You'd think one book about pants would be enough really, and the original Pants book by this pair was so fantastic, how could you match it? All three of my children have absolutely loved the original from about 18 months and over the last 5 years our copy has been worn down through excessive usage. We were excited therefore to see there was a sequel and couldn't wait to get our hands on it as soon as possible. And we weren't disappointed.
As with the prequel, there are only perhaps eight words to a double page accompanying clear bold and humorous illustrations so it's a quick bright and unashamedly silly read. Obviously the book is all about pants of varying types with a good mix of things to appeal to both boys and girls. There's a gingerbread man, feathery and itchy pants, karate rhyming nicely with arty and party, a Viking, a dinosaur and little Bo Peep. Best of all, my children just gasped with unalloyed delight at the yellow submarine pants, and now, encouraged by the end of the story, we're thinking up our own ideas. Fantastic!
