“This book is exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. The bright colors and patterns of the teacher’s baggy pants are fun and amusing, to the point that the pants almost become a character.
The final transformation of the baggy pants is fun and unexpected and encourages children’s awareness and creativity. It’s also a way of saying we are not all alike.
The story uses color and pattern boldly, sure to appeal to budding artists.
Juddy’s dreams and fears encourage imagination, such as his questions about those incredible creatures, capybaras and tardigrades.”
