Probably Dav Pilkey’s most popular novels are the Captain Underpants series. The Adventures of Captain Underpants is the first one in this kid-popular series. Here's the overall scoop: George and Harold (two 4th graders) have a problem. They have a 'silly streak' a mile long. Sometimes, that 'silly streak' gets them in trouble.
Pilkey actually uses wonderful vocabulary words and intelligent humor along with his doo-doo words and diaper jokes. The mix is fantastic and shows that intelligence does not preclude silliness and the lack of intelligence may cause you to miss out on a lot of fun. The illustrations are integral to the story beginning on page one. There are very amusing pictures on every page. Ilustrator Dav Pilkey wrote a book that your young boy is sure to adore.

I used this book as night time story to my 9 years old son who hates to read. He loved it and so did I! I could not keep my word of reading only one chapter per night, because I wanted to know what happened next! Kids love pee-poop-underwear stories and I am sure this one will get my son to enjoy reading more than today. |

In my dozen years of teaching 2nd grade, there has never been a better book for motivating reluctant boy readers to read than this one. Pilkey's humorous story and illustrations compel the reluctant readers to keep going, and turn the page to see what happens next. The story is delightfully zany and full of humor that is geared for kids. The great thing about Pilkey's writing is that there's also humor geared toward adults that the kids won't have any idea is there! This is terrific to read-aloud to kids, or to have them read in small-group reading settings. A winner! |

The Adventures of Captain Underpants is an awesomely funny book by Dave Pickley. The three main characters are George, Harold and their mean principal. George and Harold love making comics in their treehouse. When they're not making comics they're playing pranks. When George and Harold order a ring from a catalog they can hypnotize people to do what they say. They find out that they made a huge mistake after they hypnotized their principal. This book is a little challenging because not all the words are spelled right, but that's the fun part. Captain Underpants is a great book for kids. |

My kids are home for summer vacation so I had a few books delivered as a surprise. My 9-year old son looked through them all, chose Captain Underpants, and then read it until he finished it. He likes reading but rarely finds a book that really grabs him... this one got him! I really want to raise a reader so any book that helps with that, I highly recommend! |
