MommaOfTwo: I don’t understand the appeal, but the kids seem to think this is the funniest most brilliantly written series and that’s what matters. We have the entire collection and every night we read a couple chapters. It’s been integrated into our evening routine.

jayzeejayzee: My son loves the Captain Underpants books so I bought the latest one for his Kindle. Bit honestly what is Amazon thinking selling books for Kindle that are not compatible?? You cannot change the format, not even to landscape, so they are not readable on a normal Kindle. I've come across this a few times now, I'm very disappointed.

The Real Reviewer: I personally haven't read the book but my son has recently finished the series to date. These books have made reading so much fun for him. He was having a hard time adjusting to school and especially reading everyday. I tried a bunch of Dr. Suess books, Disney story books, reading to his younger brother. I couldn't get him to read without a big fight happening. I was browsing through the book section and saw Captain Underpants books 1 and it was in color. I went on a limb and purchased it praying that this would help. My prayer was answered. He was a bit weary if he would actually like it but just a few minutes in and he was already giggling. From then on, his love for reading grew. He finished the book just a day or two later (I of course made him read it again) and he was begging for the next one. Each book shows every book of the series to the printed date and it made my son want to read! This book series made him excited to read! He went from hating reading and reading level being average to a few months later being two grades above and he wasn't even done with the series. His vocabulary grew, he thought about things more, he began to draw more, create stories, make up a new...

Keri: We are big fans of the CU series and have been for a few years now. I have read through the entire series with my son, who is about to turn 8, three times, and it never gets old. In book 12, Pilkey does not disappoint--the same gross humor and poking fun at uptight attitudes.

It could easily be argued Pilkey has an agenda in this book. Some of the humor, such as song titles from the 60's twisted into silly chapter headings, and his political humor, along with some advanced vocabulary and commentary on ADHD went above my son's head--there is no way a child would get that stuff. It was clearly there to amuse (or provoke? :)) the adult reading to the child. I felt like he acknowledged that he has a dual audience (as often parents read to their children in this 6-8yo age group), but since he is politically opinionated and quite liberal, many parents will not be entertained by his agenda (one easy example--he refers to GOPs as "grumpy old people." I'm sure Republicans will not be amused). To be fair, Pilkey has always had undertones of "speaking" (in a sense) to his parent audience throughout the series, so this is not strictly a new thing.

Pilkey also talks about ADHD....
