About this title: Harold and George are two mischievous fourth graders who have created their own comic book hero, Captain Underpants. Prone to playing pranks, the boys hypnotize their school principal into becoming their crime-fighting creation and, naturally, things get out of hand--the principal escapes and begins roaming the streets in his underwear. Will the boys be able to get things back under control?

"I bought this book from my daughter's preschool Scholastic order and was pretty surprised by how crude the author is. I suppose this is the type of book that 2nd grade boys and older enjoy, but I can think of a billion other ideas for books than playing pranks on classmates, hypnotizing your principal so he can strip down and become Captain Underpants, calling people stupid, and encouraging bullying. The book had a few redeeming qualities like flip page actions scenes and a clear story line, but it was very awkward reading this to my 5-year old. My husband actually told me it was not appropriate to read to her. I'm not sure how this contributes to the education of our youth, but doing anything to get a child to read is worth it, I guess. I wasn't impressed and won't be reading any more of this series."
"I like this book because its funny. The author makes it better by putting the funny illstrations in the entire book. I would recommend it for everyone who enjoys cartoons. I like how the author captures the reader's attention with his funny word choice and illustrations. This is similar to all the other Pilkey books. The whole series is a must read if you want to laugh you head off."
"Warning: This book may be hazardous to your funny bone.
It's about two boys who make comic books about Captain Underpants. They hypnotize their principal who really turns into Captain Underpants. Hilarious hijinks ensue.
If you don't have the sense of humor of a six year old boy, then look elsewhere. Because Dav Pilkey has a potty mouth!"
"I started reading my daughter this series when she was 5. She loves it! I guess if it gets kids to read? I MYSELF think it is TRASH! Kids just think underwear is funny and comic books are cool. NOt recommened unless your child hates reading and you want to stimulate them reading anything that interests them . DEFINATELY NOT A CLASSIC!"
