How Underwear Got under There: A Brief History

48 pp. | Dutton | July, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-47178-3 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Regan Dunnick. For those too mature for gross-out books but still prone to titter at nudity, this offering is perfect: it covers the history of underwear not chronologically but thematically--"Protection," "Modesty," etc.--and supplies cartoony illustrations, bizarre-seeming archival advertisements, and fact balloons spotlighting the weirdness of it all ("Some early American settlers had themselves sewn into their underwear for the winter").
