to suggest that 'dinosaurs love underpants' is a literary classic of our time.

[dadof2ofthem]

this book makes me laugh every time i read it and make the kids bedtime a joy.

Love that book too.

I invented a character for our GCs when they were little, called Dennis the Dragon. He was born backwards so the fire comes out of his bum when he farts. They loved Dennis stories, and they were dead easy to make up: Dennis at the barbecue, Dennis saves bonfire night etc etc. Basically anything where the ability to produce fire is called for. Do you think I could get a publisher and make as much money as JK Rowling?

YABU!

No, YANBU.

Aliens love underpants is the favoured book in ours, but any book involving knickers is a winner to be fair:o

We love that book too.

Yabu. Doesn't it annoy you that humans and dinosaurs are shown co-existing?

Yanbu, love that book!

My other favourite is The Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business, that book makes me chuckle just thinking about it!

My sister made up a brilliant story, which she illustrated in watercolour, for our youngest sister about an alligator called Ag Bedag who falls off a cliff and is subsequently chased by various creatures (sharks, fishermen) until he finds himself on an island populated by flying hairballs who take him on rides suspended between them on a rug.

I still love that story....

I love the mole - and buy it for all my friends pre-schoolers!

Sorry olderyetwider but there is already a Dennis the Dragon. I owned it back in the early 80's and DS has it now. And yes, he saves bonfire night but he didnt fart fire he was the traditional dragon type!

DS love Dinosaurs Love Underpants he likes to look at the last page and pick out different underwear for other members of the family.

My dd also loves this and picks out pants for all of us. I like it because it is nice and easy and quick to read

We all love all three of the book (Aliens love underpants, Aliens in underpants save the world and Dinosaurs love underpants) an absolutely brilliant series!

It now comes as a board book with a roaring sound button .......

I used to know the writer/illustrator. Well, his wife really, we had our babies a day apart in the same hospital and became friends as we went to the same baby groups. He used to be sat at his drawing board in the bedroom of their one-bed flat while we were proffering pureed carrots in the sitting room. (To the babies, obviously.) Had no idea what he was working on, his then-partner and I were too busy comparing sleepless nights and cracked nipples. Lost touch with them a while back when we all moved out of London to different places but I was so excited when I bought the book for ds and read my friend's husbands name. Am really pleased for them, the books are gorgeous.

I have ishoos with the people and dinosaurs co-existing also.

But what about the Great Dog Bottom Swap? Genius.

edam thats really interesting, see what the net does, you start a thread and then someone who know the auther appears , brilliant!
my boys like to chose their favorite knickers from the last page too, they usually chose the one with the dinosour on.

We love it here, especially when the dinosaur trips over, that is very funny apparently.

Aliens in underpants is a classic here.

As well as the spin offs including the xmas special.

Definately a firm family favourite.

Have actually used it at school with some of my year 8s for SEN literacy when we were doing rhyming patterns/words.

:D

Oh blimey I am going to be a lone voice here - I don't like the series (aliens, dinosaurs in underpants etc..) as I don't think that the rhymes scan at all, it is so clunky and forced, I tweak the lines to fit when I'm reading it.

DS1 likes it so it doesn't matter what I think .

I can recite it all backwards in my sleep. DH came back from Waterstones with it one day stating it was genius and DS would love it (he was about 11mo )

However he's now 19mo and loves it, probably still a bit too young to truly appreciate it but he loves the pictures and we've a finely honed act for each page with suitable gestures, "grrrrrs" and "roooaars"

Not our favourite tbh, Dinosaur Cafe MUCH better.
