Fun, silly repetition that is highly relatable to children in Sweden, where outdoor play is mandatory in all weather.
Mother Tongue notes: I have the students bring all their outdoor clothes into the classroom, so we can name all their gear in English. We have a relay race where they have to run around the room, adding and naming a piece of outwear after each lap.
For children learning the vocabulary, read the book out loud and have them pantomime putting on each piece of clothing as it’s mentioned. Start to read faster and faster as the list gets longer. Some students will begin to memorize the list and repeat it with you.

This rebus story allows children to help tell along with the reader. And and repeat story.

A decent rhyme that teaches children to memorize articles of clothing as the story builds. The only problem is that no one calls it a “jacket” - it’s a coat. And who is putting on long underwear anymore?

I really wanted to like this book, but I didn't. It's disappointing because the articles of clothing would make a really good flannel board set, but I thought the story was a downer, with the kid being so upset about their clothes that they couldn't enjoy the snow, and I was not a big fan of the substitution of words for the articles of clothing with tiny pictures of the clothing.
