Publisher Description
A laugh-out-loud funny picture book about a dog who doesn't know how many pairs of pants to wear (or where to wear them!) by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Day the Crayons Quit.
One pair of pants? Two pairs? Three? How many pants should Little Freddie wear? And where should he put them? What about underpants? Where do they go?
In a book with text and art that are sure to induce giggles, Drew Daywalt and Lucy Ruth Cummins settle the age-old question: Do a dog’s front legs deserve pants, too?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Any kid who's experienced a case of the sillies when it's time to get dressed will find a kindred spirit in Freddie, a white dog with brown ears and a pink tongue that hangs waggishly from his mouth. An unseen narrator written by Daywalt (The Wrong Book) playfully admonishes Freddie for engaging in a host of clothing-related antics, including donning trousers in the first place and simultaneously wearing multiple pairs ("Freddie! Now you're wearing THREE pants. Three pants is too many pants, too!"), then engaging in similar shenanigans with other garments. Freddie's accomplice is an equally silly purple monkey, who at one point steps into the same trousers as Freddie ("No, you cannot share the pants with the monkey") and also allows itself to be donned like a hat ("Your underwear is not a hat. Neither is the monkey"). Cummins (Dalmartian) distills her drawings down to the two characters and their props, while rendering backdrops in an array of bright solid colors, making this as much a stage performance as it is a private goof between pals. What's to be done with this pair of pants-wearers? Laugh with them, of course. Ages 3–7. Author's agent: Steven Malk, Writers House. Illustrator's agent: Emily van Beek, Folio Jr./Folio Literary.
