Review of 'Captain Underpants and the invasion of the incredibly naughty cafeteria ladies from outer space (and the subsequent assault of the equally evil lunchroom zombie nerds)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Although I've come to like the Dog Man books a little more, my son (newly 5) loves this series. It's remarkable because he's able to follow blocks of text and storyline without missing a beat. Even more remarkable are the side conversations these books have inspired about a range of subjects from vocabulary to good eating habits. The themes aren't as rich as the ones in Dog Man but I can't ignore the effect this book has had on the reading life of my child. Pilkey gets extra stars for that.
