Doctor Grundy's Undies

by Dawn McMillan, Ross Kinnaird (Illustrator)

Overview

A strong gust of wind sweeps Doctor Grundy's best undies—brand-new, and decorated with tiger stripes and tiger eyes off the clothesline. The unusual undergarments go flapping out to sea and across many different lands. Who will get to keep them? A cracked crew of pirates? A silly Scottish bagpiper?
You'll find out in this fun-filled and irreverent world tour. The adventure is XXL, just like the fabulous undies, and loaded with clever rhymes and winsome pictures by the bestselling team of storyteller Dawn McMillan and illustrator Ross Kinnaird, the cheeky creators of I Need A New Butt!

"Lower the boats! Row them fast. We have treasure! Yes! At last"
