This review is from: I Wonder What's Under There?: A Brief History of Underwear (A Lift-the-Flap Book) (Hardcover)
I find the book interesting & educational. As an adult, I find it funny & interesting to discover that our underwears have evolved through time. As a mother, I find it a good material for our toddlers to develop their motor skills & discover the "cause & effect" concept. Warning though, be careful when allowing your toddlers to handle the pages. The flip-flaps are not that sturdy for tiny, curious & aggressive hands.

This review is from: I Wonder What's Under There?: A Brief History of Underwear (A Lift-the-Flap Book) (Hardcover)
I thought this was a really cute book - obviously well researched, and a really neat concept. This is a good book for anyone 6 years or older.

This review is from: I Wonder What's Under There?: A Brief History of Underwear (A Lift-the-Flap Book) (Hardcover)
After appreciating another one of Ms Lattimore's clever childrens' books, I spotted this one and ordered it too. My whole family had a good giggle with this around the dining room table, and talked about the relative merits of the different styles of underwear through the ages and different cultures. My daughters are particularly happy not to be living in the Victorian era and suffering with corsets! Cleverly designed and well illustrated - and a good way to address childrens' curiosity in a wholesome way.
