61. Squid In Pants

 

61. Squid In Pants. Kaz Windness. 2025. 32 pages. [Source: Library] [early reader, ready to read, leveled reader, easy reader, 4 stars]

First sentence: Sad squid. No clothes. I would wear those. Fish friends spot kid. We found clothes, Squid! Four friends, one boat. Two socks, one coat. Two shoes. Flip-flop! One shirt. Tank top! Nice pants. Kid gone? Squid puts clothes on!

Premise/plot: Squid and friends enjoy trying on and wearing human clothes...but all does not go smoothly under the sea.

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. What I enjoyed most was the rhythm and rhyme of the story. I liked the short, choppy sentences. I liked the rhyme. I liked the humor. I think it is incredibly silly. I think this one will probably have a good amount of kid appeal since UNDERWEAR.
