About this Story
Say goodbye to bedtime battles! In Todd H. Doodler’s Goodnight Underwear (2023, Pixel+Ink), Bear and his pals trade marshmallows for mischief on their wild trek to bedtime. Camping under the stars? More like battling giggle fits as Bear yawns, “GOODNIGHT, UNDIES!” to his polka-dot underwear. Kids will crack up at Bear’s sleepy chaos—think pajama-clad possums and a lantern-lit raccoon bandit.
Doodler (creator of the Bear in Underwear series) nails the balance of humor and heart. The story cleverly normalizes routines (“Uh-oh, Bear forgot to goodnight his nose!”) while celebrating individuality (even grumpy Boxers get a sweet send-off). Bonus: The art is a confetti explosion of neon colors and playful details, like a timid sock hiding behind a log.
Why Parents Love It:
Interactive: Chants like “Goodnight, boots! Goodnight, hats!” invite participation.
Cozy + Quirky: Tackles “responsibility” without sacrificing silliness.
Series Fun: Die-hard fans will spot nods to past adventures (Bear’s Birthday Suit gang makes a cameo!).
