Lots and Lots of fun. And lots and lots of undies. Some parents worry about “potty” humor when it comes to underwear books. That type of humor is absent in this work. Just the joy of finding a new pair of undies that fit after the others rip and fall off. The little monsters are adorable, the rhymes and cadence in line, and overall this is a fun a joyful read.

Monster resists getting new undies in this humorous rhyming picture-book - "I am just FINE / with no undies at all! / Or the undies I HAVE / ...though they are a bit small. / So WHAT if they're old? / So WHAT if they're torn? / Who care the elastic's / completely outworn?" - and rejects every new pair his patient mother suggests, when they go shopping. Until, that is, the perfect new undies appear...

As someone who sometimes resists getting new clothing, because I'm attached to what I already have, I got a chuckle out of Monster's rejection of various undergarments presented to him at the store, and I suspect young reader/listeners will be likewise entertained here, and will see a little of themselves in Monster. The rhyming text by Samantha Berger reads well, and will make Monster's New Undies a fun story-time selection, while the bold, colorful artwork by Tad Carpenter will keep listeners engaged. Recommended to anyone looking for children's stories about monsters, underwear, or little monsters who resist change... ( )
