Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on the universal truth that all children (and quite a few adults) find pants hysterically amusing, Pants by Purple Ronnie creator Giles Andreae is an unashamedly silly celebration of "smalls" big and small. Written in the style of a playground rhyme, Pants is illustrated by prolific children's illustrator Nick Sharratt in his trademark bold, colourful style. Andreae and Sharratt's imaginations have evidently run wild with the collection on offer here, including "lighting up at night pants" and "special pants for driving the car", modelled by animal characters as well as people. Frilly, jewel-encrusted, baggy, psychedelic, every conceivable type of pants is here. Pants is a frivolous, fun read suitable for children aged two upwards.--Alison Drury

One of the best kids books around! August 27, 2008
A.S. (Sussex, UK)
My kids, husband & I adore this book and never tire of it. We all know it off by heart and each of us has a favourite type of pants in the book. We have bought many copies to give as gifts and would thoroughly recommend to all. Caution - it is not the sort of book to read at bedtime when trying to settle your children down quietly as you cant help but shout and laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're now off to buy "More Pants"!!!!!!
This is a fantastic book! February 23, 2008

I bought this book originally as a gift, but after reading it i ended up buying two copies. All three of my chidren adore this book, when my daughter came along she destroyed the paperback copy so i bought it again this time in board format!!! We have read it so many times that the whole family know it word for word now. Fantastic bright colourful illustrations and quirky rhyming make this a silly but funny book which everyone will adore. A Must-Have Book!

This is an excellent book which has become a childhood classic and a favourite in our house. It has wonderful rhymes which the children love to copy and remember, and usually wildly embroider with their own version! It also has fantastically cheeky illustrations by Nick Sharratt which add hugely to the humour and work brilliantly with the bold rhyme.
We have two versions of this in our house. We have the paperback for our older kids and the chunky version for the baby, who hates to be left out and loves his pants too!
We found this a godsend when we were potty training, and used the illustrations on a reward chart for dry days in big kids pants. It worked brilliantly and we have much to thank Nick Sharratt for.

Pants is our family's fave. Our daughter is especially fond of "Pants on your head when you've gone crazy!". Will create many happy memories.

I want to add my own testimonial to the collected talent of Andreae, Sharratt and Lenny Henry. The poetry is simple but surreally hilarious ("Groovy pants, funky pants, cheeky little monkey pants, pants you can wear if you're 10 feet tall") and totally infectious (I catch myself singing it at odd moments around the house!). It makes a real change from moralistic, worthy, educational or sickly sweet children's stories. Let's face it, little people love being silly and this book is silly in spades!
The illustrations are colourful and zany. But, best of all, is the CD that comes with this edition. Lenny Henry sings the poem in a whole range of styles - rock, reggae, rap, disco, folk. He is hysterical. When I listen to the CD with my son we are torn between dancing round the room or trying to turn the pages and keep up with the song. Often we listen to it through a few times so we can do both.
The book and CD together are fabulous value for money. I have bought several copies for friends and heartily recommend to everyone with a small child.
