Description
Naked is best!
Johnny
loves nothing better than splashing in the ocean waves-naked. But Mom
says now that he's four he's too old to run around without clothes on.
She even buys him a pair of overalls with genuine 100 percent
child-proof snap fasteners! But they're no match for Johnny as he
wriggles out of them.
Johnny's father explains that big boys wear clothes. Doesn't he want to
be big like Dad? As Johnny gazes up, he decides that wearing clothes may
be a small price to pay to reach such heights.
Everyone is happy as Johnny practices putting on his clothes. And now
when he runs into the ocean, he makes sure to take his red swimsuit-but
that doesn't necessarily mean he'll always wear it!
Imbued with the lilt of the Caribbean and featuring illustrations that
capture the warmth and humor of the text, this charming picture book is
sure to amuse young children-naked or not!
