Genre:  Children's Picture Book

Source: I received a copy from the publisher to facilitate my reviews. The opinions expressed here are my own.

Are you looking for something fun to read to or with your child?  This is an awesome book. Take one young birthday boy, a gift from his uncle and get ready for a fun read.

The main character is a young boy who has just received the strangest pair of underwear from his uncle. They are made of wool. Not only are they made of wool, they come with a warning about not wearing them on a full moon. Of course he puts them on. After turning into an underwearwolf he goes on an adventure into the night.  This was such a strange and original idea that I laughed and laughed.  Along with such an awesome story, you have wonderful pictures from Charles Santoso. The repetition of the phrase "I should have taken them off, but then I would have been butt naked..." cracked me up.  I have great-grandson who would love this fun book.   We definitely need more books like this. Reading needs to become fun again and it needs to begin with the youngest readers.  I can say I highly recommend this book to parents and grandparents, or people like me who love books for all ages.
