THOSE ARE NOT MY UNDERPANTS! (Random House Children’s Books; Troy Cummings, illustrator)

Melissa Martin is a child therapist and specialist in early childhood development, with twenty-five years of experience. She’s a self-syndicated columnist of newspaper articles and author of a picture book series for Free Spirit Publishing.

In THOSE ARE NOT MY UNDERPANTS! Bear Cub is curious about what’s hanging on a branch. It’s a pair of underpants! Whose could they be? Bear Cub walks through the forest asking the critters he meets to try to solve the mystery.

(Co-agent, Mary Cummings)

"The diversity of underpants on display will keep readers in stitches, and the animals’ reactions to Bear Cub’s inquiries about something so personal are both very funny and so true to life for kids."  --Kirkus
