The Animal Undie Ball by Ruth Paul. 20th Anniversary Edition. Pub. Scholastic, 2024.

There is nothing better to titilate junior readers than underpants stories. They love it and this rhyming picture book will certainly get them buzzing.

The animals are having a ball,
zebras, rhinos, frogs and Pumas, sporting fancy pants and bloomers”. Well who wouldn’t want to go? There are Ox in their daks and jocks and baboons in their pantaloons. But not every animal is happy. The elephant and snake feel left out.

So what to do? Are underpants really necessary. Read this very funny picture book and find out.

Beautifully illustrated and lots of laughs. Great read aloud for juniors.
