Book Review of The Adventures Of Super Diaper Baby (Captain Underpants)

The Adventures Of Super Diaper Baby (Captain Underpants)
reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


My son loves these books, and I have an eternal debt of gratitude to Dav Pilkey for the incredible vitality of his concepts and their appeal to tentative new readers. This book is probably the most disgusting of the entire series, and possibly the only one I regret getting. If you do not want your second-grade boy to draw a picture of a villain who has been turned into a turd, do not get this one. If you need a secret weapon to get your reluctant child reading, this series, including this and Ook and Gluk, the two comic books Pilkey created in the voices of his child characters, may be it.
