Fun with Underpants!!!

Ok, we all wear underpants (I hope!) and it's just a part of everyday life.  But let's face it, underpants are a whole heck of a lot of fun!  I sure loved my underoos when I was a kid (The Wonder Woman ones were my favorite).  Here's some books to add to your child's clothing entertainment:

Picture Books for the little ones

Aliens Love Underpants by Clare Freeman
There is no underwear in outer space, so aliens visit planet Earth and play in the clothes drying on the line.  And by the same author, there's also  Dinosaurs Love Underpants which reveals that the Mighty Underpants War was the true reason why dinosaurs became extinct.

My Big Boy Undies by Karen Katz
With fun printed fabric on the cover, this is a book for little boys who are ready to make the switch from diapers to big-girl undies!  There's also My Big Girl Undies by Karen Katz for little girls who are ready to make the switch from diapers to big-girl undies!  Both of these titles are kept with the potty training books in the Parens collection

The Day We Danced In Underpants by Sarah Wilson.
When Papa's pants that are worn thin from dancing on his visit to France split as he sits down to picnic with the king, the embarrassing moment provides both cooling and comic relief for the guests, prompting them to take off their hot clothes and dance.   

The Underpants Zoo by Brian Sendelbach
Come visit a new zoo where each of the animals sports underwear suited to his or her own personal style.



And for the little bit older crowd, here's some Juvenile Fiction:

The Brotherhood of the Traveling Underpants by Greg Trine
This is a title from the Melvin Beederman Series.  When the three members of the Bad Guy Brotherhood buy a time machine to keep the younger Melvin from gaining his superhero powers, Melvin and his sidekick Candace, disguised as pirates, travel back in time to stop them.



Horrid Henry's Underpants  by Francesca Simon
Contains four stories that follow the adventures of Horrid Henry, one in which Henry realizes, much to his chagrin, that he has accidently worn the bright pink "big girl" panties his goofy great-aunt Greta sent him for his birthday.

Snarf Attack, Underfoodle, and the Secret of Life: The Riot Brothers Tell All
by Mary Amato
Here's some very active brothers who like using their underwear as toys and play games with them.




Uh-Oh Cleo, Underpants On My Head by Jessica Parker
When Cleo and her family go on a hike, an unexpected snow storm arrives and everyone uses extra pairs of packed underpants as hats to keep their heads warm.
