T-Shirt

H. I. Peeples. McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, $6.95 (23pp) ISBN 978-0-8092-4407-2

Two mild nonfiction books debut in the Where Does This Come From? series. Bright, cartoony drawings liven up the simply told histories of cotton in T-Shirt and gum in Bubble Gum. These are lightly educational; no attempt is made at providing any information in depth. But the depiction of how T-shirts are actually made will satisfy the curiosity of most readers. Ages 8-12.
