Underwear!

By Mary Elise Monsell and Lynn Munsinger

Bismark the Buffalo is grumpy and unlovable until his friends teach him how to laugh and show him that wearing colorful underwear can be great fun.

Zachary Zebra and Orfo Orangutan love underwear—all colors, prints, and styles! Every year they go together to the World's Greatest Grassland Underwear Fair. But Bismark Buffalo is always sad and grumpy. Of course, he does not like underwear. The grassland animals feel sorry for Bismark. But then they get an idea—an idea about underwear and an idea about Bismark.

Reviews for Underwear!

[kesterbird · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

so, it's cute, but a strongly object to the "message". The same things don't make everyone happy. Forcing your friends into underpants is probably wrong. Getting rid of your bugs is not always a bad thing.

Great story about how funny underwear helps grumpy Bismark the Buffalo find his funny bone.

This is an utterly charming kid's book about underwear. This story is based on how hilarious small kid's find underwear to be, and keeps on going. The illustrations are silly and the text matches really well. A great book to read aloud with silly voices.
