Hello! Thank you SO much TeachEarlyYears for this wonderful review! REVIEW: DRAGONS LOVE UNDERPANTS (Simon and Schuster, paperback, £7.99) Following the sound advice, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” this is the eighth title in Claire Freedman and Ben Cort’s wildly popular series of books combining “characters kids adore” with “clothing that makes kids laugh”. Dragons and underpants – really, what’s not to love? Here’s the thing, though: while it’s easy to raise a slightly cynical eyebrow at the repetition of a successful formula to this extent, the truth is, Dragons Love Underpants really does feel as fresh as Aliens Love Underpants did, back in 2007, and that’s because Freedman never short-changes her readers when it comes to the actual story.

Hello! Mr Cuddles here again! It's almost Christmas!!! 🎅 No time to put my paws up - so much to do! At this time of year I'm busy helping Santa's elves get everything ready for Christmas Eve. Those elves are a very naughty bunch so I'm kept on my paws! 🐾🐾 My job is to check all the presents 🎁🎁🎁are wrapped properly AND with the right labels stuck on! Santa will not be happy if the names are all wrongly addressed. I also have to feed the reindeer,......... clean Santa's sleigh 🛷 ...... usually I find an odd un-eaten mince pie (still tastes yummy!) and one of Santa's spare boots 👢 he's forgotten, inside! Then I need to sweep the snow ❆❆⛄⛄❆❆so it's nice and smooth for when Santa's sleigh takes off on his trip around the world, delivering presents for every boy and girl. I do hope you've been good this year!!! You don't want to miss out! Also, an URGENT reminder from Santa - please leave out a mince pie 🧉and drink for Santa and a
Hello, Mr Cuddles here again, I was looking on a website called Shepherd Books ( https://shepherd.com/ ) and found this great review for Claire's book - Dinosaurs Love Underpants . I thought I'd share it with any of you dinosaur fans out there! It's all part of my teddy bear duties, looking after my human! The hilarious follow-up to the award-winning Aliens Love Underpants! The mystery of dinosaur extinction is solved! Scientists have plenty of theories about why dinosaurs are extinct, but the UK's bestselling author/illustrator team of Claire Freedman and Ben Cort knows the real answer: The dinos were wiped out in an Underpants War! This wacky celebration of underpants is perfect for reading aloud, and the hilarious antics of T. rex and the gang are endlessly entertaining. Featuring fun, vibrant art and short, rhyming text, Dinosaurs Love Underpants is a prehistoric pleasure parents and kids will want to read again and again. Praise for Din
Mr Cuddles Blog - March 2023 Hello! Mr Cuddles here. I’ve been very busy going out and about and look what I came across on top of a post box in Leicester! YAY! Some very clever person (who goes under the name of SKB (Syston K Banxy) has knitted an Alien Love Underpants topper for World Book Day! It’s from Claire’s, and illustrator Ben Cort’s book, Aliens Love Underpants! Whoever that talented knitter is, they must be a Leicester City Football Club supporter – see the blue pants around the edge of the topper. I told Claire and she was so impressed and excited to see it! Now I want someone to knit a post box topper of me! Pleeeeze! Lots of love and Cuddles Mr Cuddles x
