Amazon.com Review
Comics! Puzzles! Jokes! Laffs! Flip-O-Rama! Stickers! Sound too good to be true? Captain Underpants (The Adventures of Captain Underpants: An Epic Novel, Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, etc.) is all about making readers happy, especially in this "really cheesy" (hey, the captain said it, not me) activity book starring everyone's favorite wedgie-powered superhero and his fourth-grade creators, George and Harold. Learn how to write your very own comic book, solve word-find puzzles, find your way out of Doctor Diaper's Devastating Diaper of Doom maze, pick up a few prank tips, make flip-o-rama pictures, complete the Cafeteria Ladies' Crazy Crossword, read all about Hairy Potty, the evil nuclear waste-enhanced toilet with werewolf fangs, and so much more. The exquisitely juvenile humor and (intentionally) unsophisticated artwork will have even reluctant readers clamoring for more from the very talented and irreverent Dav Pilkey. Pass the final exam and you can send away for your P.H.D. (Pilkey Honorary Diploma), make-it-yourself graduation cap with real artificial tassels, and a membership card. All three Terrifying Name Change-O-Charts 2000 are included, as well as a sheet of full-color stickers featuring Turbo Toilet, jockey-clad Captain Underpants, and the snickering troublemakers, George and Harold. (Ages 7 to 10) --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Pilkey "Potty Prose", February 19, 2001

By	KnitKnut (IL, USA) - See all my reviews

If you have kids that have enjoyed reading the 4 Captain Underpants books before, they will surely love the gags in this book. Although it's not an epic tale like the previous chapter books, it is full of the typical "potty humor" that is classic Pilkey. Some of the jokes are a bit over the top (or should I say "in the sewer"?), but if you don't mind that, your kids will surely have fun doing all the activies, especially the mad-lib fill-in-the-blanks story. Just be warned, it might keep kids up half the night laughing if they read it for their bedtime story time. Or worse, they might need to change their pajamas if they laugh as hard as mine did!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for the Captain Underpants Fan, February 16, 2001

By	"thehartmans" (Lanark, IL USA) - See all my reviews

If your child loves Captain Underpants, this is more of the nonsense that made Captain Underpants so much fun for kids! Lots of activities and the same Dav Pilkey humor! A fun book for the car or a snowy afternoon inside!

5.0 out of 5 stars A++++ Material!, June 30, 2002

By	Chiedu Ufoegbune "Chiedu" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is great, including that it has ideas to make a comic book, ideas to make FLIP-O-RAMA, and a whole new Captain Underpants Comic Book "Hairy Potty." This is A++++ Material.
