I got this book for my birthday from Jane. Why is Jane buying me a children's book? Because it's awesome - that's why. When first reading the book I laughed and thought it was cute.
Further thought revealed how dark and twisted it really is. Allow me to share.
**SPOILER ALERT**.

Bear in Underwear.
The book starts off with the main character, Bear. He's playing Hide and Seek with his friends. But no one finds him and he's left stranded in the woods. First and foremost - Bear's friends suck at Hide and Seek. He was only hiding behind a tree. Secondly, he clearly needs to find new friends. They can't just leave him out the woods. Geez.
On his walk back home he finds a back pack. So he takes it. Way to promote theft, Bear.
He eventually finds his friends and they pump him up to snoop in the backpack. Again - nice friends.
What's in the backpack? Underwear. All different shapes and colours. Tons of them. Why on earth would someone just fill a back pack with underwear? I can only conclude a pimp or stripper would be toting such a thing around.
So what does Bear decide to do? Try them ALL on and parade around for his friends. Like a twisted episode of "Say Yes to the Dress", he finally stops when they all agree what pair look best on him.
End of story? Nope. His friends then take the leftover underwear for themselves and they all appear to have a pantie party in the forest.
Hats off to the author, Todd Doodler, for writing possibly the funniest children's book ever.
P.S. Bear chose to go with the tighty-whitey's, which were my personal fave as well.
Favourite of the Day: Twitter. I know a lot of people don't 'get' Twitter. But it makes me smile every single day. Yesterday @MrsRupertPupkin had me laughing with this one: "My cat tried to knock my tv on the ground this morning. WHY ARE MY BEST FRIENDS FIGHTING?!!"

The whole premise of Bear in Underwear sounds so Canadian to me. ;)
Laughing reading in my friend's History class, while he taught. Not very nice of me.
