From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Both of these small, simple, and sometimes very silly books feature brightly colored single-page cartoons of stick-figure-styled animals, people, and faces. In the first title, Parr shows that feelings are always changing. "Sometimes I feel like standing on my head" and "Sometimes I feel like celebrating my birthday even though it's not today" mix with "Sometimes I feel lonely" and "Sometimes I feel cranky." On the last page, the author encourages readers to share their feelings with "-someone you love." Overall, this is a nice addition to titles about the topic. In Underwear, Parr continues his series of books about "Do's and Don'ts." One double-page spread couples "Do Wash your underwear" with "Don't Use too much soap." Another advises, "Do Go shopping for underwear with a hippo" but "Don't Let her try it on," accompanied by an illustration of a hippo in ripped panties, size XL. This zany title is sure to send listeners into peals of laughter during storytime.

Customer Reviews

Underwear is Funny
For children, underwear is funny. I think many would find this book funny, too. The dos and don'ts are, of course, goofy (like do put your clean underwear away, but don't put it in the freezer). It has big bright pictures to illustrate each do and don't. To get a giggle out of child, it is hard to go wrong with the a book about underwear (just saying the word is sometimes enough). If your preschooler enjoys silly books, then DO buy this one, but DON'T be mad at me if your child does not like it (children are difficult to predict sometimes and who knows your child better than you?).

Underwear is funny!
Our four-year-old son loves this book, because, let's face it, underwear is funny! After just a couple of readings, he was "reading" it back to us in very exaggerated fashion.

Who knew underwear would be so popular?
Obviously, Todd Parr. I bought this book for a theme program in my elementary library, and it was a huge hit, even with third graders! I also took it to my daughter's daycare and read it to three- and four-year-olds. Highly recommended!
