This book was legit! It's not only the best Captain Underpants book by far (so far- I'm reading them sequentially), but it's also an all around awesome read. It came suuuper close to pulling 5 stars for me. It introduces new wrinkles, the commentary lands, it's got some fun 4th wall breaking, and it's an all around clever story. Little one also loved it, but it'll be hard for anything to top the silly names of Book 4 for her. :)

-Allusion to the Trix rabbit pg. 55
-Alliteration pg. 64-65
(Although they both are all over all of the books)

Real Rating: 4.5
George and Harold are back once again and this time so is the Hypno ring that got them here in the first place.
Their prank this time revolves around their teacher, whom they use the Hypno ring on. Unfortunately for Harold and George they were not paying attention to the news. The news told them that the rings worked differently upon women and caused them to do the opposite of things. So now their teacher is Wicked Wedgie Woman and she wants to get rid of Captain Underpants. So she sets out her two robots (that look exactly like Harold and George) to find him.
This series never seems to have a dull moment. There is always something going on and Harold and George never really seem to learn a lesson even at the end when they should. Yet if they did I doubt we would have these fun continuations. George and Harold are smart. Very smart for their young age and they are producing their own brand of comics to the masses at school.
But pranking seems to be their number one priority and keeping their teachers - as well as Mr. Krupps - on their toes.
I am sure some parents would see these books as a means to teach children that it is okay to misbehave and cause trouble but there is always a moral to these stories - there are always consequences to the trouble you make.

I liked the plot of this one and how they keep developing the characters and evolving the story from book to book.
