Review: It's National Underwear Day!

8/5/2018

1 Comment

 
​Yes, indeed, there is an official day to celebrate underwear. Do you know why we call it a “pair” of underwear? Because way back in the 1500s when people wore “pantaloons” (pants), they came in two separate pieces. You put one on one leg and tied it around your waist, and then put the other on the other leg and tied it around your waist. So, if you had two legs, you needed a “pair” of pantaloons. I guess the saying just stuck. Anyway… I thought to help celebrate this wonderful occasion, I would bring you a review of: 
Picture
TITLE: ONE BIG PAIR OF UNDERWEAR
AUTHOR: Laura Gehl
ILLUSTRATOR: Tom Lichtenheld
PUBLISHER: Beach Lane Books/2014
OPENING LINES: ONE big pair of underwear.
                                TWO brown bears who hate to share.
                                ONE bear wears the underwear
                                ONE bear cries, “That isn’t fair!”

On the surface, this book might seem like a silly story about underwear (which might be all that’s needed for a child to pick it up), but take a peek inside and you will see so much more. Laura Gehl introduces the concepts of sharing and counting while teaching (not preaching) a lesson, and does it all with humor and rhyme. Couple that with Tom Lichtenheld’s adorable animal characters (with equally adorable expressions) and props (more than just underwear), and you have a winning formula.
