A terribly funny story for little girls

Wanda-Linda wakes up to discover all of her underpants to be hanging on the clothes line, all except the terrible underpants. The terrible underpants have stretched elastic, cordial stains, holes and saggy bits. People are apalled when circumstances lead to everyone seeing Wanda-Linda's terrible underpants. Really funny with colourful engaging pictures

A CLASSIC BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR ANY GIRL!

I originally bought this book at our local BAM store because I read it in the aisle and couldn't contain my own laughter! It was like those really funny cards you read to yourself in the card shop, and you can't help but snicker and laugh out loud! This is a classic story about one of those days (man or woman, we've ALL had these days!) when you are at the "bottom of the barrel" with hardly any clean underwear, and you have that one pair of gosh-awful underpants that you hate but HAVE to wear. I remember having that one pair of underpants as a child...the ones with the elastic that isn't quite right, but you end up squirreling them away in the bottom of your underwear drawer...only to realize you really need them some day! This is such a cute story (my sons LOVE IT, too!) that we started giving it as a birthday gift when we get invited to those darling little girl parties...I have yet to meet a parent who didn't LOVE IT as well! Overall...cute story, WONDERFUL pictures, guaranteed to crack a smile on your face! Hope you enjoy this book as much as we do. It's a favorite bedtime story at our house.

Just what kids like

While most grownups will find it difficult to understand why this tale is appealing, it's almost guaranteed to be among any young child's favorites. Little girls, especially, can relate to the story. As a huge bonus, this was the first book my kindergartner got enthused about reading by herself. It's short, cute, and simple. I originally checked this book out from a library, but my daughter loved it so much, I had to buy it.

Really, really funny! A great book!

My girls (ages 5 and 3) and I read lots of books every day. This is one of the funniest and our favorites! We couldn't recommend it more! You have to have this in your library!
