Books like Dinosaurs Love Underpants
By Claire Freedman
For the kid who thinks underpants jokes never get old, this book turns them into the secret key to a prehistoric mystery. Silly, loud, and gleefully absurd, with a wink at grown-up science lessons.
A Siamese kitten with an overactive imagination transforms into El Skippito, a mask-and-cape sword-fighter, ready to take on banditos and a bad bumble-beeto to save the day.
Farmer Brown's cows find a typewriter in the barn and start leaving him notes with demands — and when he refuses, the whole farm goes on strike.
A boy tours his own house room by room, discovering odd made-up creatures hiding in ordinary spots — a Wocket in his pocket, a Vug under his rug, a Yeps on the steps.
A cat gets a cupcake and asks for sprinkles to go with it, setting off a chain of requests and small messes that just keeps looping back on itself.
A boy welcomes a hungry moose with a muffin, but one muffin leads to jam, then a trip to the store for more mix, spinning into one favor after another.
An alphabet parade of animals acts out each letter with a matching verb — an aardvark admiring, beavers ballooning, cats cleaning — all the way to a zigzagging zebra.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A paint-happy kid gets banned from painting after covering everything from ceiling to floor, then finds a wildly funny way to keep creating anyway — using every color on hand.
Five little monkeys jump on the bed after saying goodnight to Mama — and one by one, they fall off, bump their heads, and get a call to the doctor.
An alligator family romps through the alphabet from A to Z, entertaining elephants, imitating ice cream, and throwing tantrums along the way in one letter-by-letter jamboree.
A dog who hates baths buries the scrubbing brush and runs off for a day of adventure, getting so filthy that his own family no longer recognizes him.
A boy named Jeremy Jacob joins Braid Beard's pirate crew for buried treasure and sea chanteys, gleefully ditching manners and bedtime — until he learns what pirates don't have.
