Admittedly, I share some of the same feelings about this book series as those who find it most controversial. The “gross factor” is off the charts, it’s a bit irreverent, and no, I don’t think it provides the same kind of reading experience as…say…GoodNight Moon or a few other kids books.
About the book::
George and Harold (the co-stars of the enormously popular Captain Underpants series) are in big trouble again! Their mean principal, Mr. Krupp, has had it with their comic books. But the boys aren’t giving up, and they decide to create an all-new epic novel about a subject they’ve never tackled before!
Although my son doesn’t read yet, he loved looking thru the pictures and he got a good idea of what the book was about. He thought it was funny. I did read parts of these books to him and he pretty much thought they were hystarical.
Dr. Dilbert Dinkle started his career as an ordinary, everyday evil genius/inventor/bank robber. But when he awakens one day transformed into a walking, talking puddle of pee, he vows to destroy every toilet in town. Will the devious Dr. Dinkle and his conniving cat, Petey, ruin restrooms for the rest of us? Or could this be a job for the death-defying, dynamic duo of Super Diaper Baby and Diaper Dog?
