Illustrated by
Cat Chapman.
A teddy bear taking a walk in the jungle is confronted by a frog, who laments that his underpants have been stolen. Together they search for the missing skivvies until they find the unlikely underpants-coveting thieves. The rhymes are beat-perfect, the ending soars, and the ink and watercolor illustrations are pure grace and dignity--even when depicting the star-spangled undies.
