Briefly speaking, this lift-the-flap book is laugh-out-loud fun, and educational, too!
This hilarious lift-the-flap features animals and the underwear they wear! Kids will roar with laughter as they lift each flap and reveal boxers on a horse, furry undies on a crocodile, leafy green bloomers on a sheep, and more. We save the best for last, though--on the final spread, an e

Bright and colourful with hardly any words but expressive pictures and flaps revealing extremely silly and unexpected underwear, this book would be sure to amuse any three year old learning to dress themselves.

We own this one and it's so fun to read to groups of kindergartners. You let them come up one page at a time and open the flap to discover what kind of underwear the animal is wearing. Then they giggle like there's not tomorrow when they find the fun surprise at the end. You'll have to read it!

In the UK this book has the alternative title: What Colour Are Your Knickers? US: What Color is Your Underwear?
This short lift the flap book doesn't have much text, and doesn't tell much of a story, but is a lot of fun none the less. A question is posed about the colour of an animals underwear, then lifting the flap provides a rhyming answer. 'What colour are your knickers Horse Ned? They're red! Other animals featured are a turtle, a crocodile, a spider, a cow, a sheet and an elephant.

A simple concept and rhyming text accompanied by bright, colorful illustrations so you would think this would be a great group read aloud, right? Um. no. While I'm sure it would have kids and parents laughing out loud, I'm just not comfortable reading a book at story time which encourages kids (who might not know any better) to be asking others to see their underwear. I love the lift-the flap interaction and the pictures are hilarious and fun, but the target audience is one that should be learni

I used this one during a "colors" family storytime on 7/10/18. It was a HUGE hit with the kids and their parents. I will definitely be using it again!

Colors. Underwear. Rhyming. Short. Cute.

I think it's a great book for children.

This is a book that needs to come with a warning. If you’re reading to a young audience, there is a slight chance that when you announce the title, “What colour are your knickers?” you might be flashed by members of your audience who really want to answer your question. (This has happened to one librarian I know!)
Don’t be put off, this is a great simple story to read even the youngest audience. Each animal in turn is asked about the colour of their knickers. The words are simple, but the concept ...more

This hilarious lift-the-flap features animals and their underwear! Kids will roar with laughter as they lift each flap and reveal cherry red boxers on a horse, furry yellow undies on a crocodile, wooly green bloomers on a sheep, and more! We save the best for last, though--on the final spread, an elephant is hiding behind a large leaf...for good reason. He forgot to put on any underwear! This is a fun way to teach colors...and the importance of wearing your drawers!

OOOOh La La! Don't get caught without it!

It's a fairly silly book but I think little children would enjoy it, both topic and the underwear-revealing flaps.
