Surprisingly clever and fun read, with a little bit of heart in there. Good for a burgeoning reader to dip their toes into reading.

{My thoughts} – George and Harold are regular goof balls at school. They enjoy pulling pranks and causing issues for those around them. They also spend a lot of their free time creating and distributing comic books called The Advenrures of Captain Underpants.
I’m this book they pulled a massive prank that took place during a football game. They thought they’d gotten away with it free and clear until their principal called them into his office. Once there he showed them a video tape of them being caught red handed!
The boys were forced to meet the principals demands. They were forced to allow themselves to be blackmailed by their principal. Their principal decided that he’d make a list of demands he wanted the boys to do. They more or less became his slaves.
After a few days the boys found a solution to their problem. If your interested in learning more about what they did, what their solution was and how they’d chose to handle their situation – you should totally read this book!
I found it to be a rather short but fast read and I greatly enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more books in the series in the very near future!

4 star review from Elementary School Alex. Yes these books were silly, but I enjoyed them.

Es adorable y entretenido para pasar el rato, pero me resultó demasiado tonto para la edad para la que se promociona.

A great shared read with a small child! My 5 year old loved this from start to finish. I was concerned that it would be too mature, but the content is spot on really.
It's the first in a series about two boys who enjoy playing pranks at school, the headteacher who tries to stop them, and the plan they come up with to hypnotise him into thinking he's the superhero in one of their homemade comic books...
The pranks, the comics, the fliporama (we looked at these again and again!), the headteacher in his underpants. Just EXACTLY what a young boy wants in a book. We like Dahl, Horrid Henry, Anne Fine, Dick King-Smith, an eclectic mix, and we've now added Dav Pilkey to our bedtime rota.
He's asked for the next in the series already. And I"m happy to oblige - there's a lot of literacy convention here to expose young readers to - comic book structure, flip books, some fantastic humour and silly lines that are actually very witty. The idea of hypnotism and a head teachers swanning around in pants and a curtain is very appealing.
Great for reluctant readers (with lots of short chapters and hilarious illustrations), wonderful for my beginner reader to listen to.
One for ages 5 to 12.
