Aliens in Underpants Save The World
By Claire Freedman and Ben Cort
(Simon and Schuster, £5.99)

Earth is in imminent danger of destruction by a fiery meteorite and there's little the planet's residents can do to stop it. But to the rescue zoom a race of underpants-appreciat
ing aliens who have been watching the unfolding drama from space with horror – because if Earth is destroyed, the supply of knickers, Y-fronts and bloomers they so love will be cut off. They save the day by bouncing the meteorite back out into space with a giant elasticated shield made out of thousands of items of underwear. Children are always amused by pants – the stripier, spottier and sillier the better – and this daft and colourful tale is sure to raise a few giggles.
