The Underwear Book Paperback – Picture Book, August 7, 2012

My daughter has several other books by this author, Todd Parr. Todd has a unique was of combining the fun of reading with a moral message too. My daughter (3 y.o.) totally giggles each time we read this book. The illustrations are great. Bright vibrant colors everywhere. She also has "It's OK To Be Different" and "The Feelings Book" by this author. My daughter ordered this off Amazon with my supervision and couldn't wait for it to arrive. When it did she jumped up and down and was super excited to have it read to her. It's now one of her favorite books. Thanks Todd!!!!!!

All of his books and cute with colorful illustrations. Stories and simple and without deep messages which is quite refreshing

My 5-year-old nephew loved this book. Amazon really made it easy to shop for him, and it saved me time and money delivering the gift directly to him, he lives in another state.

On so many levels Todd Parr's books are fantastic and this one is no exception.Simplicity, understandability (for our 2.5 y/o), depth, breadth, foresight. Brilliant.For this book in particular, I love how he gives appropriate but not fear-laden warnings about the privacy of one's underwear -- while at the same time not turning them into something to be ashamed of (or ashamed of the parts of our body we cover with them).I love how he points out different feelings that kids might have when it comes to the issues he writes on -- this one is no exception: embarrassment, humor, fear, etc...Our son loves to have us read it to him over and over again.

We bought this book because we have The Feelings Book, which our boys love. This one wasn't as much of a hit for some reason, and I'm not sure why. I'm hoping they warm up to it eventually because I think it's great!

We have several Todd Parr books and they are always among my 3 year old's favorite books. From an early age he was attracted to the bright illustrations and now he is enjoying the humor as well.I really like the balance of this book. During potty training we talked to my son a lot about underwear but now we are also trying to temper those discussions with reminders about manners and private body parts. This book manages the perfect balance. It's silly "don't wear it over your costume" but also serious "don't hang upside down on the monkey bars (in a dress)." It doesn't make underwear taboo but introduces the concept that there are some important do's and don'ts.

For children beginning potty-training, or in the middle of it or those who have just accomplished that feat, underwear holds a fascination that sometimes escapes adults. Todd Parr really understands kids, and his colorful illustrations grab their attention while his silly admonitions about underwear (Do put your clean underwear away. Don't put it in the freezer.) will make them laugh. Playing with words and situations is an important part of learning about language, and Parr opens up their thinking so that they are ready to make jokes of their own. It is a wonderful book for kids.

All of Todd Parr's books feature bright colors and charming concepts for you and your tiny human. This book is no exception. This is a favorite of our daughter and her father, and after (literally) hundreds of reads, it still looks brand new (if a little sticky). These books as a bundle make a fantastic shower gift or birthday present for the young reader in your life! I wholeheartedly recommend this title, and all of Parr's other books.
