Pants optional: 2014’s best books for kids | National Post http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/12/15/the-best-kids-books-of-2014/



"Complicated plots are so much less compelling than a simple story that can tap into the basest experience of being a kid, especially when it comes to picture books. Hence the appeal of Michael Ian Black and illustrator Debbi Ridpath Ohi’s Naked (Simon & Schuster), a hilarious, silly book about a little boy who just doesn’t see the point of putting on clothes after his bath. Anybody who has had to face the struggle of wearing pants can relate. Naked is the duo’s second collaboration (after last year’s I’m Bored), and the two have once again proven themselves at being the most adept in summing up the frustrations of childhood."
