Booklist - 04/01/2023 When a child’s mom surprises them with a gift of underwear, they want to share with their friends. Soon, they set to work crafting pairs of underwear for not only their sister but for ants, pirates, pythons, bobblehead dolls, tortoises, racecars, wizards, boomerangs, astronauts, skeletons, cowboys, and zombies, before finally abandoning the project and bouncing bare-cheeked on their bed. The rhyme scheme has a lovely, lilting, Seussian speakability that will lend itself well to read-alouds in libraries and classrooms. Every page has its chuckle-worthy underwear-themed pun or punchline ready, and there are terrific Easter eggs from this creative duo’s previous collaboration, Does a Bulldozer Have a Butt? (2022), hidden in the illustrations, from guest appearances by the older sister and father to a cameo from the three-butt-cheeked alien. The humor in both the rhyming couplets and the watercolorand-ink drawings is layered and delicious. This is both a delightful stand-alone and a strong companion piece to its predecessor. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
