Publisher Description
A hilarious new book about a boy who refuses to wear clothes, from comedian Michael Ian Black and illustrator Debbi Ridpath Ohi, the team that brought you I’m Bored, a New York Times Notable Children’s Book.
Michael Ian Black and Debbie Ridpath Ohi, whose “smart cartoony artwork matches Black’s perfect comic timing” (The New York Times Book Review), have paired up again to showcase the antics of an adorable little boy who just doesn’t want to get dressed.
After his bath, the little boy begins his hilarious dash around the house…in the buff! Being naked is great. Running around, sliding down the stairs, eating cookies. Nothing could be better. Unless he had a cape…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Naked!" It's fun to say and fun to be, as the team behind 2012's I'm Bored proves with this tribute to the (temporarily) clothes-free life. "I'm naked!" shouts Black's impish narrator fresh from the bath his private parts artfully concealed by page edges, his bare feet, and a sheet of paper ("I could go to school naked"). Add a cape and cookies, and life can't get much better well, until the shivers set in, and then dragon PJs become the sensible choice ("The cape stays on," the boy proclaims, admiring himself in the mirror. "Awesome"). Ohi, working in more fully (ahem) fleshed out scenes than in I'm Bored, is an inventive, irreverent portraitist of domestic life readers won't be able to anticipate where her comic sense of composition will take them next (spoiler: one perspective is a bird's-eye view of a naked Hokey Pokey, complete with dance steps diagram). Certain to inspire gleeful mimicry not that some kids need much of an excuse to ditch their duds. Ages 4 8.
