Originally part of the Sneetches and other stories, this story is really great on its own as well. A nameless narrator is scared of a pair of green pants with nobody inside them, and goes to lengths to avoid seeing these pants walking around with nobody inside them. Funny ending, and a good lesson about confronting your fears.

What an absolutely adorable book! Those poor scaredy pants, I'm glad they found a friend. Everyone needs a friend, even spooky pale green pants with nobody inside 'em. I highly recommend this book, another great Dr. Suess classic! Thumbs up!
