What Do You Wear?

Taro Gomi

A small board book answers its title question with brightly colored animal illustrations against white pages. Its examples mix familiar clothing ideas with unexpected ones: a sheep has a fluffy jacket, while a goldfish wears a tie-dyed skirt and a duck a fancy cardigan. Other animals include a zebra, snake, and penguin. The simple text pairs each animal with a garment and ends with a surprise involving a boy. The book uses clothes and animal traits to build playful visual associations.
