Underwear: What We Wear Under There

32 pp. | Holiday | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-1920-3 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by John O'Brien. This quick peek at underwear throughout history is amusing and informative. The focus is on European and American undies, with only brief mention made of the undergarments worn by ancient peoples in other parts of the world. Cartoonlike illustrations extend the humor with playful exaggeration. (A queue at the dry cleaners shows a loincloth-clad sumo wrestler with a business suit in hand.) Reading list, timeline, websites.
