Review

"Rothman and Oswald's delightful sequel rightly captures the thrills and vexations afflicting all new readers. Now it's the Underwear Dragon's turn in the spotlight, and shine he does. The stylized artwork, meanwhile, retains its ability to provoke laughs and sympathy in equal measure. Hooray for the Underwear Dragon!" --Kirkus Reviews

"Readers will likely take [the story] in stride, along with Rothman's casually rhymed prose, for the entirely ridiculous sight of a dragon in underpants blundering clumsily through Oswald's cartoon illustrations. Both the fundamental value of literacy and the old principle of getting the right book to the right reader, every librarian's goal, shine as brightly as ever." --Booklist
