Oliver Jeffers' Lost & Found is a fun book. We watch the film of it sometimes too. The film is also sweet and charming, surprisingly it is quite different to the book and in a good way. The book is another of our favourites. With the illustrations there's always a detail I can find that I haven't seen before, even after several dozen readings. It's a story of friendship and loneliness. There's a seam of Milliganesque humour that runs through Jeffers' work. We have several of his books and they're ones I can never read enough of.
Underpants Wonderpants is by Peter Bently and illustrated by Deborah Melmon. It's a story of a super hero dog who can save everything with a zap that creates underpants and shapes them into an item to save everything from kangaroos through to royalty and ultimately the planet. It's a fun rhyming book. There does seem to be something of an obsession with underpants but they are a little more incidental here.
