What On Earth Are You Wearing: An Encyclopedia of Fashion by Chloe Quigley and Daniel Pollock — While you could definitely be entertained just by flipping through the wonderful fashion watercolors, this picture book actually holds a whole lot of valuable information.

Ever wondered what an "obi" is? Authors Chloe Quigley and Daniel Pollock will tell you a brief history of the wide Japanese belt worn with kimonos through the voice of their created persona, Michi. If you want a definition for something a little more simple like "retro," expect nothing but short and sweet wit. If you like your vocab lessons with a bit more personality, you'll definitely enjoy the lessons and jest in this petite volume.
