Book of the Week: Aliens Love Underpants

Aliens Love Underpants by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort
This silly, light-hearted book, filled with rhyming text, brings aliens to Earth in search of underpants.  They love all types of colors and sizes...no pair is safe from their liking!

  • delighted - having lots of enjoyment
  • puma - a large wild cat with tan or gray fur 
  • frilly - a border or ruffle around the edge of clothing
  • competition - trying to win something
  • elastic - something that can be stretched and then go back to the way it was before it was stretched
  • fetch - going somewhere, pick something up, and then bring it back
  • lurk - to hide and wait

Questions:
  • Where do the aliens live?
  • Where are they going?  Why are they going there?
  • How do the aliens travel to Earth?
  • Where do they find the underpants?  Whose do they find?
  • What would you do if you discovered an alien using your underpants?
