What Colour Are Your Knickers?

What colour are your knickers? Sam Lloyd. (Ages 2 - 5)

This is a fantastic book for teaching young children colours in a humourous way. Each page shows a different animal with a lift up flap that reveals the colour of their underwear.

My son laughs and laughs at this story, particularly at the predicament Elephant John finds himself in.
