Jing Jing Tsong.
Rhyming text describes animals' coverings--rendered in large, bright illustrations--concluding with the only animal that wears clothes: "you!" Suggesting animals "wear" their coverings anthropomorphizes them, and some of the coloring seems confusing. Nevertheless, the catchy rhymes and bold close-ups will appeal to young readers. Includes five pages of additional information about the animals.
