That Dragon, he is the cutest dragon and this is a great story. He is so clever with the jack-o-lantern and for anyone who's walked through the dark wood at night while the wind blows can identify with this. It's a great story for kids. I have all of Dragon's books and my child and I like them all. Don't hesitate, buy this book!

Cute story for the Halloween holiday and a nice way to introduce young children to the idea of chapter books. There are other books in the "Dragon" series, so readers can revisit the character in other settings if they enjoy him in this one.

This book contains some of the most beautiful illustrations I've ever seen. I am trying to introduce my daughter to books which use language in creative ways combined with exceptional artwork and this book does both. Dav Pilkey blends features from famous paintings and his own colorful style. He makes you wish you could join the cats on their trip through the jungle with the long grass tickling their feet. For another beautiful book about cats, be sure to check out Cynthia Rylant's "Cats in Heaven".

I collect a lot of Dav Pilkey, and was surprised that the author of the great, but silly _Captain Underpants_ could create such a beautiful book. The artwork and text are truly wonderful... a must for cat lovers and dreamers everywhere.

Be sure to read this one to yourself before you read it to your kids; otherwise, they won't be able to understand you through your laughter! Some of the humor may be over the heads of young listeners, but Dragon's interpretation of the five basic food groups will appeal to everyone.

This is a great set of books for children who are past the "easy" reading books and need to move on, but not at chapter book level. My son loves this series. He couldn't put it down and laughed through them. I wish there were more Ricky Ricotta's books written. Highly recommended!

This is the best book I have ever read, and I am 12! Sensational, emotional, cool, funny, happy, sad, and everything else! Sue Denim and Dav Pilky have done the best work since "The Dumb Bunnies" series! The next "Silly Geese" title is sure to be a hit!

My 5 year old was thrilled to find a book he could read ( with some help) that had several stories from all of our favorite authors! James Marshall, Dav Pilkey and six others!

I was in fourth grade when this book came out and Dav Pilkey came to visit my school. I loved it from the moment he began to read the first page. Not only is it hilariously entertaining and extremely clever, but it delivers an important message to today's children. As a political science major, I keep some of the book's closing thoughts at my desk to keep me grounded... "It's nice to have power and good to be strong, but threatening each other is certainly wrong. A powerful mind is good for a start, but you also need wisdom and love in your heart. And when you use all of these things as a guide, you can take your differences and lay them aside." -- Old Bear in World War Won

Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants

This book is mainly about Professor Poopypants being laughed at by the children his is teaching for science. George and Harold are the really big trouble makers. They decide to make fun of Professor Poopypants in a comic. After Poopypants finds out he gets really mad and creates a gigantic robot with his science invention that he made. Poopypants now trys to get revenge for all the people that laughed at his name.

I like this book because Harold and George keeps on changing the lunch cafeteria signs and causing all kinds of terror. Mr. Krupp keeps on catching George and Harold and punishs them very bad, but Harold and George finds the punishment funny and creates a idea that will get them into even more trouble by Mr. Krupp. These are two examples from the book why George and Harold are bad and Mr. Krupp catches what they are doing and punishs them badly.

"Hey," said George, "let's change the letters around on the school sign while we're waiting." Here's one reason they get in trouble and Mr. Krupp catches them. The other reason is this. "All we need is this ladder, that bag of powdered paste, and those big boxes of styrofoam wormy thingies." This is another reason why George and Harold get in trouble, they create an idea that will get them into more trouble.

My favorite part of this book is when Captain Underpants which is Mr. Krupp gets shrunk by Poopypants's invention because he tries to get the other invention that Poopypants made to unshrink the whole school and even himself. Unfortunately Captain Underpants got shrunk twice by Pooypants's invention, this is when i sort of laughed because he got so samll that George and Harold couldn't even see him. This is the part that is my favorite.

Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professer Poopypants is a story about a man named Captain Underpants. Captain Underpants is really Mr. Krupp, the school principal.

Whenever someone snaps their fingers, Mr. Krupp turns into Captain Underpants. Captain Underpants fights for truth and justice.

Two boys, Harold and George, have a new sience teacher named Professor Poopypants. All the kids laugh at his name. He gets so mad about it that he uses his latest invention, the Gerbil Jogger 200, and plans to take over the world! Meanwhile, in the school someone snaps their fingers... guess what happens next?

I like this book because it is really funny. The funniest bit is when Professor Poopypants makes all the kids change there names into silly names such as Poopsie Chucklebutt, Lumpy Pottybiscuts, and Snotty Gorrillabreath.

It's a special book that can make me lose control and just laugh out loud. Such a book is the hilarious "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants," by Dav Pilkey. This book is actually the fourth in the ingenious Captain Underpants series (although the first that I have read).

The book is about two schoolboys, George Beard and Harold Hutchins. They have hypnotized their principal, Mr. Krupp, so that when he hears fingers snapping he becomes the ridiculous hero Captain Underpants (dressed in no more than his underpants and a cape).

Thus, Captain U is a superhero spoof in the tradition of the Tick and the Powerpuff Girls (and equally funny). This volume in the series has the underdressed Captain battling a mad scientist (the Poopypants of the title).

This book is full of outrageous humor and silly illustrations. The many clever jokes reward careful readers. A nice touch is the reproduction of crude, error-filled comic books purportedly written by George and Harold. Also fun is the "Flip-o-Rama" gimmick by which the reader can manually animate key action sequences. A wacky blend of comedy, science fiction, and superhero thrills, "Captain Underpants and. . . Professor Poopypants" is a blast from start to finish.

Yes, "Captain Underpants" is not great literature, nor does it even begin to approach anything beyond lowbrow humor. It may be that these are reasons that kids who have not found reading fun before like his ridiculous exploits.

How many kids wish they could run around solving the world's problems--or at least, those in the school lunchroom--dressed in cape and armed with a plunger? How many kids may even, as toddlers, have thought they were doing exactly that? I'm sure I'm not the only parent out there with just such photos in the shoeboxes, and I think this is the appeal of these books for kids.

I would agree that once your children are hooked, try and encourage them to move on toward more substantial reading. Then again, I've been known on occasion to read through a pointless novel as escapism; maybe this is escapism for kids!

Although these books may have been written for boys, girls think they're hysterical, too. I've read all four to my 7-year-old daughter and we had a ball laughing together. Now she can read them herself, but we still keep reading them aloud to share the laughs. Dav Pilkey is incredibly imaginative and funny.

The simplistic manner by which this series of chapter books were written are easily understood by young readers. The plots captivate, and the characters are funny and likeable. These chapter books are recommended for readers 9 and over, but my son, at age 6, has read them all, and can't wait for the next batch to come out. I highly recommend this series!

I am reviewing the book Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman by Dav Pilkey. George and Harold are the troublemaking boys who attend Jerome Horwitz Elementary school. With their 3-D Hypno-ring they hypnotized their principal Mr. Krupp to become the most famous hero, Captain Underpants. They also hypnotized their teacher to become the nicest teacher ever, but she became a super villain. She transforms into the Wicked Wedgie Woman. To find out more read this great book.

Captain Underpants and the Wicked Wedge Woman is an SPECTACULAR book.It's a great book for everyone.It's a hilarious book with the evilest bad guy ever The Wicked Wedge Woman.The Wicked Wedge Woman is the meanest teacher of them all,but you have to read the book to find out who the meanest teacher is!This hilarious book is the best book of them all with the extremely corny animation flip-o-Rama.So if you like Captain Underpants books read this one.

George and Harold have really done it this time. Thy're created a MONSTER! She's faster, smarter, and even more evil than any other bad guy in captain underpants series. She is knowed as the....WEDGIE WOMAN! And with the help of her horrible robots and her dangerous and furious hair, WEDGIE WOMAN is on a mission to take over the world, and she'll give a whopping wedgie, for anyone that stands in her way in that including Captain Underpants. Will WEDGIE WOMAN's wicked spell be the end for our hero? Will you'll have to read the book to find out.
