What's in your closet?

For young readers, this is an excellent introduction to understanding the form and function of clothing. Photographs of people in various climates invite discussion about what to wear as weather changes. Protective clothing for various jobs are shown, and the usefulness of uniforms is pictured and discussed. Special occasions require special clothing and "old fashioned clothes" are also examined. Choosing what to wear crosses a wide range of issues, and A First Look at Clothes makes readers open to discuss just how that decision is more complex than it seems on the surface.
