Animals should definitely not wear clothing.

...because a snake would lose it, a billy goat would eat it for lunch, and it would always be wet on a walrus! This well-loved book by Judi and Ron Barrett shows the very youngest why animals' clothing is perfect...just as it is.

This is our family's favorite book! The writer & the illustrator do a fantastic job of exposing the idea of what would happen if animals wear clothing - it is an adorable book that makes our whole family laugh LOUDLY!

This deceptively simple read-aloud will appeal to all from ages 3 to 93. Each two-page spread features one animal wearing some very inappropriate piece of clothing, accompanied by a quick explanation of why it's wrong for this animal to wear this particular article. For example, a kangaroo would find a coat with pockets "quite unneccessary" and a moose might find suspenders hard to "manage." The illustrations are a particular delight; the animals have very droll expressions and the problems are depicted with some subtlety which will encourage dialogue during a read aloud. This 1970 title truly has stood the test of time!

I used to read this as a child all the time. It was the most enjoyable book and very funny to look at the pictures and it is easy to read.
