5.0 out of 5 starsATTENTION PARENTS OF RELUCTANT READERS!!!!:
By A Customer on 29 Jan. 1999
Format: Hardcover
My son is a typical 8 year old boy. Passing gas is the hit of his life. Up with recess! Down with studies! How can you get through to a kid like this? Let alone get him to want to read?
ANSWER: Buy and read THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!!!!! Just with that name and the cover picture alone, I knew he would be interested. But I never expected him to read it COVER TO COVER, BY HIMSELF, THREE TIMES, IN THE FIRST SITTING!!!!
I took this book with me to my son's gymnastics team practice to praise it up and down to the parents of the boys on his team (quite a few were reluctant readers too). Some parents raised an eyebrow, but as the book made the rounds, and even the toughest to please kid shouted, "GET ME THIS BOOK!!" all the parents were convinced.
My son is now an excellent reader who has moved on to great books, but he returns to Captain Underpants regularly, and I still hear him giggling to his friends, "HAVE I GOT A BOOK FOR YOU!!"

5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent book - you never know what will happen next
By A Customer on 26 April 2000
Format: Hardcover
An epic novel that's about two boys who order a hypno-ring and hypnotize the headmaster. It doesn't go down very well.The headmaster turns into captain underpants-The hero of a lifetime.He flies through the town until the worlds biggest gem is stolen. I would recommend this book for 7-9 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 starsA book Mom doesn't mind reading with the kids, Tra-la-laaa!
By A Customer on 3 Jan. 1999
Format: Hardcover
This book is the best kind of silly. It moves at a good pace, the pictures are enough to keep a kindergartner interested and the text is "advanced" enough for my second grader to read with a bit of a challenge. We have read it several times, most recently in one sitting, and laugh and laugh all the way to the end. Mr. Pilkey has a writing style that is fast-paced, exciting, and enjoyable. We are becoming fans, having reading a "Dragon" book and now "Capt. Underpants," we are ordering a few more of his titles. Enjoy, we certainly have!

5.0 out of 5 starsFrom the author of Kat Kong
By Bernie VINE VOICE on 27 Nov. 2003
Format: Paperback
The first in a series of epic novels for tykes. Readers may identify with the characters in this novel. As with the concepts in Mad Magazine, there are some diversions to add interest, such as “FLIP-O-RAMA.” The book even contains a warning from the “Sturgeon General.”
Stephen King started out writing a comic book at school. Evidently a similar action lead to the origins of the great red caped slightly clad hero.
This book reveals the origins of “Captain Underpants” whose true identity is so secret “that even HE does not know who he is.”
TRA-LA-LAAAAAAAAAAA!

5.0 out of 5 starsContagiously Funny!
By A Customer on 17 Mar. 1998
Format: Paperback
The first time my five year old son and my three year old daughter read this, we could not put it down! This is the first chapter book that we read together and still read about once a month.
I find it amazing that the author has been able to capture and maintain the attention of my young children. We have also been enjoying shooting underwear at each other, especially in those tense times where we could use a little laughter!
My son says, "I like the part where he said 'I will have to resort to WEDGIE POWER!' "
My daughter says, " I like Dr. Diaper . . . he's pretty funny!"

5.0 out of 5 starsWe loved it!
By A Customer on 19 Nov. 1997
Format: Paperback
My son has been running around in a cape since *before* he graduated from diapers to (superhero) underpants, so I picked this book based solely upon the title, and the fact that the hero wore a cape.
This book (I now see) is for 9-12 year-old readers. My son is 5. But we read it straight through (all 122 pages!), and we laughed and laughed! The silly antics of George and Harold, and especially the Amazing Captain Underpants (Tra La Laaaaaa!) made me feel like a fourth-grader again. What better comment on a book than it allowed me to hear my 5-year-old giggle?

5.0 out of 5 starsFrom busted to in control - thumbs definitely up!
By A Customer on 20 May 1998
Format: Hardcover
George and Harol's principal, Mr. Krupp, hates them and their pranks (inflating the team's football with helium, peppering the pom-poms, filling the parade's trumpets with bubbles, and making up their own silly comics - Captain Underpants). When Mr. Krupp catches the boys on videotape doing their things, they're busted. Either George and Harold have to clean and work for Mr. Krupp or Mr. Krupp will show the video to the football team. So George and Harold choose to work and clean for Mr. Krupp. When George and Harold think their lives are over, their prayers are answered. George orders a Hypno-ring. One day George and Harold are late for cleaning and Mr. Krupp is furious. So George and Harold pull out the ring and hypnotize him. Soon they're snapping their fingers and turning him into a monkey, chicken and a cow. Then George has a good idea - he turns Mr. Krupp into Captain Underpants. Soon Captain Underpants is jumping all over town fighting crime. I give the book two thumbs up!
