I read Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets last year, and I decided to now check out the new series of Diaper Baby.
I have to say I think I will be sticking to Captain Underpants. This book was quite disgusting, and yes, I know it was written exactly to be that, but I don't really need to see a giant turd wandering around, ewwww. I am glad no one was around when I read this one. Otherwise I would have had some explaining to do as to why I am reading about poop.
I had quite a laugh though that the boys from Captain Underpants wrote this one instead of what they were supposed to write.
The baby was quite nice though, that is why I kept reading as I was curious about him, what would he achieve next? Would he defeat this villain? What about his parents, how do they feel about their son being a superhero (especially at this young age).
The dog, well in the beginning I didn't like him much, but later on I did quite like him and I was happy with the change he went through. Yay!
The art was also pretty decent.
I also got a bit annoyed at the misspelled words. I know this was written to seem like a kid made this, but was it really necessary? I can just imagine that it might also confuse kids who just started reading.
I did feel sorry for Captain Underpants in this one. Several days must have passed, so why didn't anyone help him out?

This is kind of a goofy book. It is meant to be. I am not the target audience. I read it as a banned book challenge I have given myself this year. Elementary kids will adore this book.

Pilkey is so good at capturing how kids create comics and write stories. This really feels like it was made by George and Harold. It is pure potty humor and nonsense, yet absolutely perfect.

“I like it a lot.”
That’s 5 year old for 5 stars.
Actually she said she would give it 23 stars. (We’re still working on understanding the 5 star review system.)
What was your favorite part?
“When he turned into a poop because that’s silly. And the best part is when super diaper baby turned into a super hero.”
What did you like the least about it?
“When they got out of jail.”

I am in no way part of the recommended age group for this book, but did I read it anyway? Multiple times? While procrastinating over other books I needed to read?
Absolutely!
This book is just so cute and lighthearted. I Laughed at it probably much more than a mature person should.
Younger readers (and maybe also older readers) will enjoy this book.
