From long johns to bloomers, Y-fronts to boxers - Animal Pants is quite simply packed with pants! There's a cat who buys her pants from a catalogue and a frog who wears pants when he's off for a jog.

With an infectious rhyming text from the brilliant Brian Moses, and wonderfully entertaining artwork by Anja Boretzki, there's a giggle guaranteed on every page.
