Why read it?
1 author picked Vegetables in Underwear as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is bright and fun and original.

My personal favorite page is the potato wearing tiny underwear.
From Kim's list on Kim Howard's favorite picture books about clothes (or the lack-thereof!).
