Aliens Love Dinopants
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
The seventh Underpants title from Freedman and Cort unites the well-known Aliens with the unusually colourful Dinosaurs (who also love underpants).
When the Aliens' pant-tracker takes them to a stash of enormous underpants, they discover a lost colony of dinosaurs who are afraid to venture out into the world. The enterprising Aliens soon come up with a solution which results in a new community on the Aliens' planet, and plenty of opportunity for all to enjoy themselves.
The Underpants series is hugely popular among young readers, who always delight in references to bottoms and underpants, with the humorous, brightly coloured, lively illustrations matched by a memorable verse tale. There's plenty of comic detail in the images to discover and discuss.
