The Adventures of Captain Underpants

From School Library Journal Grade 2-5-Pilkey packs an amazing amount of humor into what could have been a one-gag novel. Besides turning their principal into a silly superhero, George and Harold play tricks on just about everyone. They pepper pom-poms, put bubble bath in tubas, and fill a football with helium. Pilkeys illustrations are half the fun, and that magical moment when the hypnotized Principal Krupp dons his Captain Underpants uniform and sings Tra-La-Laaaaaaaa is priceless. Krupp is a worthy successor to Lamar J. Spurgle, the nemesis of the Cut-Ups in James Marshalls great picture books. The kneel here sign in front of his desk says it all. Kid Appeal Award: Superheroes are always fascinating to kids. And children of a certain age will laugh at anything that has to do with underpants. Combining the two was a stroke of comic genius.
