Jacob is happily playing in his pyjamas, but his mother wants to go shopping, so he must get dressed. But he can't get dressed: there are ants in his pants (they tickle!), and geese in his fleece (the feathers made him sneeze!), and . . . what else? It's funny how quickly it can all be solved when Mum spots snow on the ground! And is there really a cat in Mum's hat?
Jacob's attempt to scupper his mother's plans and slow down the process of getting dressed, a familiar battle of wills between parent and child, is humorously resolved here through imagination and wordplay. This colourful and lively picture book also celebrates the joys of playing in the snow.
