Dan's Pants: The Adventures of Dan, the Fabric Man

by Merle Good

Dan's got more than 30 pairs of funny pants in his closet. Every day is dress-up day for Dan! Everyone loves when he shows up in town.

When Dan goes out, bees follow him, dogs go wild, traffic backs up, and his customers like to (discreetly!) feel the fabric.

Dan's a tall guy. And he covers those mile-high legs of his with the wildest pants you've ever seen.

Every week, Dan sells bolts of fabric to fabric stores, dragging suitcases full of samples from one buyer to the next.

Every season, Dan's wife Fran makes him a pair of pants from his favorite of the new bright, bold fabric he sells.

Inspired by actual experiences.

[Jennifer · Rating 2 out of 5]

I can't quite figure out if Dan sells fabric or what, but this book is just a little weird. Silly and some of the pictures are funny, but weird. 2.5 stars
