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.
Oh, how our family loves Todd Parr books! :) The vibrant colors are great, the humorous and subtle discussion of important topics are even better. So when we got The Underwear Book, I knew we wouldn't be disappointed! My son's about to start potty training and we're loading up on related books for him, and really so far, this has been our favorite. At 20 months, the bright colors get - and keep - his attention. He's too young to pick up the humor in the words but he does seem to find the pictures pretty funny! And anyone who's successfully potty trained a kiddo before knows that the ability to wear "big kid undies" can be a huge incentive for tots to potty train. And the last page ends on a sweet, inclusive line about acceptance that children won't think twice about - how the best messages are taught, and a sure sign that this book, about underwear, is more than it's silly title - it's another Todd Parr great.
Todd parr books are great books, and is amazing. Talks about underwear do's and dont's it's a little silly and definitely not a potty training book except maybe to spark interest in wearing undies and not pull-ups. Good books though, a fun read.
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.
This is the only Todd Parr book I didn't like. It contradicted one of the points listed in the a Earth book (Earth book suggests putting underwear in the freezer to keep cool, and this books says not to put underwear in the freezer) which made it confusing for my two year olds.
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.
My son loves this book, the author came to my son's school in Rochester ny, he order some books from at the school.and wanted this book to add to his other's he has. He is a 2nd grader very educational for him and loves to read it over and over again. I would recommend this book for any kid. girl or boy.
