Another wonderful book by Dav Pikley! True to form, Captain Underpants taps into the minds of kids and provides good, solid fun. The series combines silly characters with adventure and, of course, potty humor. Perhaps the best feature of any of the Captain Underpants books is their ability to get our kids reading! Granted, the story line is light. But that is just what early readers need to become competent readers; and, what older readers need to relax and just have fun - no different than beach reading for us.
This particular book is the source of the whimisical email I received recently. I found the editorial reviews on Amazon.com right on the mark. Here are some highlights:
From Flunky Pizza Chunks:
"This hilarious book will crack Pilkey fans up with tiny toilets of truth, evil gerbils, and even Cher's greatest hits."
From School Library Journal, Sharon McNeil, LA County Office of Education:
"With its bathroom humor, madcap pranks, gross adventures, mini-comic strips, and flip-book pages, this rollicking laugh-out-loud cartoon story is certain to be a hit, especially with reluctant readers."
My Final 2cents:
I love this series - everything about it! Perfect for young readers to have fun and to entice reluctant readers to read!
