Occasionally I wonder how people come up with this stuff. Claire Freedman's "Dinosaurs Love Underpants" gets creativity and comedy points. There definitely was laughter when I read this story to my kids. Dinosaurs and cavemen interact in this one and different dinosaurs react to their own underwear. Children can learn the names of different dinosaurs (if I can pronounce them correctly) while giggling right along.
The most adorable thing I've stumbled upon at my workplace (the bookstore) this year!
I read Monsters Love Underpants some time ago, and I adored that book. And guess what I found in my library yesterday? Yes, I found Dinosaurs Love Underpants. I was kind of expecting it to be the same kind of story as the Monsters, but it was quite different.
In this story we find out how the dinosaurs got extinct. Oh, you thought that was because of a meteorite, well believe me, after this book, you might reconsider. ;) It was a really funny book about cavemen, about dinosaurs, about fights on underwear (Yes, believe me, underwear is highly wanted!) and while the sentences didn't really rhyme, they still had a nice rhythm to them that made them easy and also very fun to read.
I really liked how we started in the present and travelled back in time to the past.
The illustrations are nice, colourful and fun to look at. I really loved all those underwear, though I do wonder where they got the fabric from. The animal prints are easy, but how did they get white/blue underwear? Or polka-dotted ones? The mystery deepens. ;)
Would I recommend this book? Yes, I am sure kids will love it, and parents will just be laughing just as hard at all the underpants antics happening.
I am hoping that I will find the other books one day, as I would love to see more underwear and see which critters/creatures get the spotlight next.

Meh. I like kids' books to make at least a tiny bit of sense. This one didn't. Also I'm kind of annoyed that we're keeping up the dinosaurs/cavemen trope.
Really its only selling point is the repetition of the word "underwear" which makes it hilarious to any four year old. Pretty boring for the babysitter reading it, though.
