Where Did My Clothes Come From? (Exploring the Everyday)

Got this and the others in the series for my 5-year-old. What a great way to illustrate how we make clothes. We enjoyed the variety of processes explained (like cotton, silk, wool, etc) and the journey they take to be made into clothes. Especially how fleece comes from plastic bottles - so cool! This will definitely be in rotation at our house and hope that other books are made in this series!

I'm a preschool teacher, so this book is too advanced for my age group but I knew that when I purchased it. This book has wonderful illustrations and I was able to cover 2 pages with my little ones where we talked how clothes were made along with some videos I found with some farmers shearing the sheep. The children enjoyed it and the illustrations that are in this book.

Chosen for one of two learning books for summer reading. Informational. Short stories on different kinds of fabric with lots of pictures for the different step. Daughter enjoyed it and I did too.

Fantastic book for any child who always wants to know where things come from. Well-written with very good illustrations. Appropriate for children ages 3-8. The text tells you a lot about what is happening in the illustrations- which are detailed enough that they offer plenty of opportunities to elaborate.

My kids love this book

Clever book!!! The illustrations are colorful and interesting, while the simple text explains where clothing fabrics originate , how they are created, and their various purposes.

Great for elementary school aged children. This book is currently being used in a 1st grade classroom. It was also given as a gift to a 5 year old who loved learning and pointing to the pictures as and adult read.

I picked this up at the library and it's really neat. It explains how fabrics are made for different clothes- rubber, wool, synthetic fibers, etc. in a way that kids can understand. I definitely learned a lot and I sew so I thought this was neat. Like another reviewer mentioned, some of the pages show various cultural groups doing the work for that particular fabric. Perhaps it could've been represented better, but it's probably a pretty accurate representation of which cultural groups actually make which clothes. Either way I have to really appreciate how much effort goes into our clothes after reading this. I hope my kids have the same appreciation! My kids are 2 and 4 years old and listened pretty well to this... They seemed to like the illustrations and step by step visual on how things are made.

A much loved book, great detail and imagery for the process of creating material. Excellent for the curious minds who want to know how things work.
