Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman: Color Edition (Captain Underpants #5): Volume 5

Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman is a good book

Follow George and Harold as they try to undo a horrible, hypnotizing accident with the help of the greatest superhero in the world,CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS. This action-packed thriller consist of two kids with large imaginations,a principal/superhero, a teacher gone wacko and two giant robots. This book is awesome for ages 7-14.

I purchased my first Captain Underpants a week ago for my 6yo 1st grader who is reading well for his age. He loved it and begged my to buy the other books in the series. He took it to show and tell at school, reads them at night rather than watch cartoons, and has gotten his cousin into them as well. The humor is directed perfectly to young boys and will get them hooked on the joys of reading. I highly recommend these books, especially for reluctant readers.

Captain Underpants threatens to change the way our children read. Exposure to these books will cause them to read faster, more often, with more enthusiasm, and at a higher reading level. They will start to think that reading is really COOL. Pilkey is a brilliant storyteller. The writing is imaginative and challenging. My 5 year old is now breezing through words such as "torrential", "emphasize", "individuality" and "conformity". He and his seven-year-old brother now prefer creating their own comic books to watching television. Some uptight parents might not want their children exposed to words like "pee-pee", "poop" and "doo-doo". They might also be squeamish about their kids finding out what a "wedgie" is. Those parents might be well advised to lighten up a bit.

I am a twenty-three year old, and received this book as a stress-busting gift. Needless to say, I had never laughed so hard reading a "children's book". The author's way with language and illustrations is amazing; it even made me wonder why there weren't books like this when I was growing up.Regarding those parents who are concerned for the literary quality of the "Captain Underpants" series, I can only say that kids need to have a balance in their "reading diet". The important thing is to get them excited about reading!

Shocking news! A review by a woman, for her daughter! Gasp, swoon! No you say! Ha ha! At last! The latest from Jerome Horowitz Elementary is out! We were very excited, my DAUGHTER and I to explore one more novella from the crazed depths of Gen Xer Dav Pilkey's mind. Aaaahhh, i was laughing, I was dying! Great references in the comic book, I loved the She-Ra/Superman undertones to the Starch comic. Gosh, this book is great! This is my humor exactly----I know my daughter still only gets half the jokes, (she still giggles like crazy tho) but I love reading them out loud as an adult, it adds to the savoryness of it all....! Dav (I feel like I'm on a first name basis with this guy...) has kept up the "quality" of silliness that has "pervaded" the last 4 Capt. Undies books. George and Harold get Mr. Krupp into trouble with Ms. Ribble...and Ms. Ribble takes it from there...to become-----just wait and read! Trust me, if you like James Marshall, the Dumb Bunnies or anything SILLY with a mix of potty humor, a wry young spirit and a flavor for the northwest, I suggest this series! For GIRLS or boys!
