The Adventures of Captain Underpants

Book Synopsis

When naughty George and Harold hypnotise their headteacher, they accidentally create the greatest superhero in the history of their school — Captain Underpants! His true identity is so secret that even HE doesn’t know who he is…but he’s fighting for truth, justice, and all things pre-shrunk and cottony!! If you’re a naughty villain like the diabolical Dr Diaper, watch out! Captain Underpants has wedgie-power on his side, and he’s coming your way.

Our Review Panel says...

I am a fully-paid up member of the Dav Pilkey appreciation society. He is just a fantastically funny writer. The Captain Underpants books (and the Dogman spin-offs) are AMAZING. My son and I love sitting together and reading them. Like a lot of brilliant illustrators, Dav understands how funny the medium itself can be and really plays with space on the page and design and stuff like that. These are totes recommended.
