Underpants Dance

Illustrated by Lynne Avril
A charmingly irreverent look at a mischievous kid-fixation: underwear!
 
Underpants can be fancy or functional, but for pre-schoolers, it is always funny. Take Lily McBloom - she has the fancy kind and loves to show them off with a special dance to make everyone laugh. This horrifies her big sister who comes up with a plan to stop Lily's underpants dance forever. But Lily is one creative girl, and with a little outside-the-box thinking, she can keep right on dancing!  

For fans of Bear In Underwear and Ella Sarah Gets Dressed, this story celebrates the hilarity of kids' obsessions.
Marlena Zapf likes to tell stories on the page and on the stage. She has been a book editor, a children’s theater performer, and every June she dons her mermaid tail and marches in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. She received her master’s degree in children’s literature from Simmons College, where she was named the Virginia Haviland Scholar. When not writing, her favorite thing to do is dance like nobody’s watching. She lives in North Andover, Massachusetts. View titles by Marlena Zapf
