Aliens
Love Underpants
Written by: Claire Freedman
Illustrated by: Ben Cort
Simon and Schuster 2007
28 pages
Fiction
When looking at books to read this
one was one of the first to catch my eye. The illustrations on the cover page
are funny and silly and make you want to read the book. Since there are no
underpants in space, aliens have to fly down to Earth. They love underpants in
all shapes and sizes! From moms to grandpas the aliens love all the different
kinds. But always have to leave in a flash so they are not caught. So if you
ever see an alien don’t worry they aren’t out to get you, just your underpants!
Ben Cort did a fantastic job on the illustrations. The
pictures are funny and corky just like the story. I love the way he uses the
different colors to create unique pictures. The aliens’ lines are short and
stubby but with long arms. There are many different shapes used through the
text to emphasize what the story is talking about.
This is a hilarious book that could be used for many different
age groups but mostly younger grade levels. It is a great book to introduce
rhyming with. The book could also be used for creative writing prompts. The
book has many adjectives used that students you could ask your students to
listen for and point out. I think Aliens
Love Underpants would be a wonderful book to read with your students just
for the joy of reading!
