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!

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.

Let's say you hypnotized your teacher into being a Wicked Wedgie Woman. And she started to terrorize the city. And your only hope was a guy wearing underpants and a office curtain around his neck.

But you actually have a chance. Because that guy wearing underpants and an office curtain around his neck is --TRA-LA-LA! --Captain Underpants!

This funny story starts off when the two main characters, George and Harold (probably the most imaginative kids in the entire Captain Underpants world), trick their principal Mr. Krupp into signing a ``will-you-marry-me`` card and delivering it personally to their teacher Ms. Ribble.

Not till the day of the marriage does Mr. Krupp finally tell everyone (including Ms. Ribble) that George and Harold tricked him into giving the card to Ms. Ribble.

The next day, Ms. Ribble told George and Harold that because they made her so mad, she was going to lower their grades from B's and C's to F's and G's (even if there is no such grade as a G).

George and Harold were so mad at Ms. Ribble for doing the grade changing that they took the hypno-ring (from the first book of Captain Underpants ) and hypnotized Ms. Ribble to change their grades - and NOT turn into a Wicked Wedgie Woman, NOT take over the world and NOT try to destroy Captain Underpants .

But then George and Harold find out that the hypno-ring makes women do the opposite of what they=re hypnotized to do!

So now it's up to George , Harold and Captain Underpants to stop the rampaging Wedgie Woman before she takes over the world.

So far there are five Captain Underpants books and another fun activity book and they are all really funny. The one I just told you about is the fifth.

I think the fifth is the best and it deserves a few words. And if I were to put it on a scale of one hundred it would blow the scale up because it's such a great book.

Now you probably are asking , why is it so funny and great ? And I'll answer that right now. The thought of a guy wearing nothing but underpants and a office curtain around his neck saving a city from a Wedgie Woman is hilarious and also it's great when George and Harold find out how to destroy the Wicked Wedgie Woman and when Captain Underpants destroys the evil robots which you=ll find out about and other good reasons if you read the book. The only bad part of the story is that it's too short.

It's good for six-year-olds to eleven-year- olds or twelve-year olds depending on the kind of books you like. Read Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. It's the greatest book ever!

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.

In this book George Beard and Harold Hutchins tries to get their teacher Ms. Ribble to change their grades back to normal because they tricked her into almost marrying the principal. So Harold Hutchins comes up with the idea of trying to hypnotize Ms. Ribble.

But little did both Harold and George know that the hypotonic ring they had purchased a while back worked differently on women. Every time they tell women something, the hypnotized female does the opposite.

So now seeing how George Beard and Harold Hutchins made the mistake of their lives. Both George and Harold are now are now going to soon regret it.
