Aliens Love Underpants [Hardcover]

Claire Freedman (Author), Ben Cort (Illustrator)

Book Description

Grade Level: From Pre and up

It's a totally zany story with some of the silliest illustrations to appear in many seasons--which is to say that Aliens Love Underpants will be a surefire hit among toddlers and beginning readers. When little aliens fly down to Earth, they don't come to visit because they want to meet the Earthlings. They simply want to steal everybody's underpants! They like them large or small, they like them red or green--and they like them in all other sizes and colors, too. They think that Mom's pink, frilly panties are a perfect place to hide. And Grandpa's woolly long johns make a super-whizzy slide! The text is in verse, the illustrations are big and bright, and kids who open this book will giggle from first page to last.

This review is from: Aliens Love Underpants (Hardcover)

Right away this book is appealing to the eye. Bright colors with round friendly little aliens bouncing through the pages. And what's inside lives up to the cover and the excitement of the title. Its revealed the aliens visit the earth because of its underpants. And the story in fun rhyme proceeds to tell what aliens do with underpants. Its a great story to be realoud to younger kids, with simple words and great pictures that will hold their attention. A definate new favorite. That's sure to appeal to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars good read for both toddler boys and girls, April 15, 2008

By 

Wonderland (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aliens Love Underpants (Hardcover)

This is such a fun book for both toddler boys and girls. My daughter was resistant to wearing underpants but now takes great joy in searching her underpants for hidden aliens every morning while getting dressed. It seems to be a great companion to toilet training books since wearing big girl or boy underpants is such a huge part of that process. Fun and silly, we read this book aloud all the time as part of our bed time routine. Aliens Love Underpants

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book....but....., January 15, 2009

Underpants Wearer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aliens Love Underpants! (Book & CD) (Paperback)

Okay, this book is hilarious and really cute, and as the mother of a preschooler we are trying to potty train I thought it would be a great way to encourage him to wear underpants. But as the story developed, I sensed he was becoming apprehensive about the possibility of aliens landing in the backyard and pilfering through his sock drawer. At the end of the story I asked if HE wanted to wear underwear and he emphatically said, "No!" I asked why not and he plainly replied that he didn't want the aliens to steal them. My husband almost had to leave the room from laughing so hard. Fun book, but beware! :)
