Unmentionables! Underwear by Jenn Harney
It's a little BARE BEAR, leaving wet footprints behind him--from the bathtub to the bedroom! His dad gives him the Papa Bear stare.
"STOP RIGHT THERE! YOU SHOULD BE WEARING UNDERWEAR!"
Little Bear wonders why and where!
"UNDERWEAR OVER THERE? OVER WHERE? UP THE STAIR?"
Baby Bear is unaware of where. Papa Bear points dramatically at the pair of underpants on the chair. But when Baby Bear tries them on, he despairs. That pair of underwear has a tear! It's not fair!
Papa is getting grumpy as he offers a spare pair of underwear. But Baby Bear is getting into the fun of this rhyming game. How about he wear it up there on his head?
"UNDERWEAR MAKES AWESOME HAIR!"
How about a pair that makes Baby Bear a Super Bear? Or a Scare-full Bear?
Papa Bear becomes a Bear with a Super Glare and declares that it's time for bed!
Any book that offers a bare bear and underwear is a guaranteed giggle-getter, and Jenn Harney's Underwear! (Disney Hyperion, 2019), with her inspired pair of comic bears and a fair share of underwear pairs well with the preschool and primary grade set, and Harney's clever dialogue between this pair makes this one jolly fun to share as a pair or with a gang. "This will be a riotous hit wherever it's shared," says Kirkus Reviews' starred review.
