Dav Pilkey: The adventures of Captain Underpants (2000, Scholastic) 4 stars

Review of 'The adventures of Captain Underpants' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

My son clamored for this book after seeing an ad in the back of our last Dog Man read. It is a slightly higher reading level and a prose book (different from the Dog Man comics) but my son was hooked from the start.

The story was fun but I will say this to other parents: I noticed my son wanted more items after this read (particularly the 3D hypno-ring). I'm not sure what that says about the book or about his age (4). It could be this is just a way to engage with the story for him. He is less enthusiastic about the next book than he is about the fake dog poo and that has not been our experience with any other novel (including the Dog Man books). Maybe this is something maybe it's nothing but I noticed.
