Todd Parr's 'Underwear Dos and Don'ts' is a brightly colored, humorous picture book that tackles the topic of underwear, making it approachable and fun for young children. With its simple, bold artwork and childlike text, it offers gentle guidance on when and how to wear underwear, perfect for children transitioning out of diapers. Beyond the practical tips, the book also weaves in messages about feelings, self-expression, and acceptance, reminding readers that it's okay to feel different emotions or be unique. It's a wonderful tool for parents looking to introduce a new stage of independence with a lighthearted, positive tone.
Todd Parr's books blaze with primary colours, positive messages and the kind of humour that elicits giggles from kids and knowing smiles from adults. Messages range from the straightforward feelings (lonely, scared, brave) to the slightly less conventional, though equally valid (Sometimes I feel like standing on my head.) Underwear tips are ideal for anyone just out of nappies and not sure of the etiquette( ) The artwork is bold and simple - the characters are stick figures and the text is presented in childlike handwriting. This is Purple Ronnie for primary-schoolers, but with definite crossover appeal into older, even adult, markets. Do read these books... Don't do it in the bath...
