AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

While the narrator and the models may be chickens, Holt and Briggs have given us a fact-laden book about underwear that is also a lot of fun to read and peruse. Using the chickens is a master stroke, because it makes the book factual without becoming distracted by human bodies.
