Editorial Reviews

Bear and his bug-eyed animal friends bundle up on a snowy day and head outside to play. When they build a snowman, Bear contributes all of his clothing to the cause—except his red long underwear. His friends’ declarations of approval appear in dialogue balloons: “You look super cool!” says Beaver. Luckily, there’s a pair of long underwear for everyone; including the snowman. Toddlers should continue to find Doodler’s lovably dim cartoon animals and deadpan humor—and, of course, the underwear theme—irresistible. Ages 4–up. (Nov.)

Praise for Bear In Underwear

"Doodler...offers candidly silly details on every page." — Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 2—When the snow finally stops falling, Bear and his friends bundle up and go out to play. They make snow angels, catch snowflakes, sled, and have a snowball fight. When Bear builds a snowman, the friends agree that his creation needs something to keep him warm. The critters try mittens, a scarf, a hat, etc., but Bear ultimately decides he needs to give the snowman his red long underwear. The main text and dialogue balloons carry the story. The cartoon illustrations have a loose, silly feeling to them. The characters' large eyes roll expressively in their heads, adding visual humor to the funny text. This is a serviceable addition, but Jonathan London's Froggy Gets Dressed (Viking, 1992) is a stronger choice for a silly story about winter clothing.—Susan E. Murray, formerly at Glendale Public Library, AZ
