Cover of Animals in PantsAnimals in PantsSuzy LevinsonThis picture book is a collection of short, silly poems about animals dressed in many kinds of pants. A dog appears in yoga pants, a goat wears overalls, and a yak is dressed in slacks. The poems present a parade of animals in unexpected clothing, with illustrations that match the playful premise. Each animal-and-pants pairing builds on the book’s comic idea of giving familiar creatures an unusual wardrobe.Grades K–2On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
