I had no idea Petey from Dog Man made his debut in this book! I enjoyed seeing him!

Also as always, this book was stupid, but I loved it.

I picked this up at the library because I remembered the books from when I was a bit younger. I hadn't read any of the ones with the babies though. The jokes were funny! I loved the flipping to get the animation too.

Another bit that was funny was the spelling. I am a horrible speller, so this was hilarious in a way. I remember writing and spelling like that!

Jake's Review: Give it to me I want to read it now! Ok, Ok, please may I read the book now my lovely mother. This book rocks you have to totally read it. It is full of potty jokes and gross stuff that all boys my age like. I don't think girls will like it, other than you mom, you are not a real girl, because of all the gross pee and poo stuff. It makes me laugh though, I can't wait to bring it to school tomorrow to show my buddies. This is one of the books that Brian will actually read. I like that there are lots of flip o rama's and it was a book I could read in one night before going to bed. This is just like all the rest of the Captain Underpants books -- funny and a book that even if you don't like reading, you will like!
Jake's Rating: 11/10

Mom's Review: Ok, I know I am a 40 yr old Mom and really shouldn't enjoy these books as much as I do -- but I will not lie, I totally LMAO everytime I read them. This book has all of the usual Pilkey innocent and fun potty humour. The artwork is delightful and the storyline perfectly engaging for the typical 7 -12 yr old kid (and dorky mom's who never grew up). I think these are fantastic books for the reluctant reader and a must have for all libraries. Don't tell kids but there are some hidden morals in the story and some very wise truths that they won't even realize they are picking up. Urine (come on you know I couldn't help myself from putting that in) for a real treat with this one!
Mom's Rating: 10/10

We received this from Scholastic in exchange for an honest review. Thanks Nikole -- Jake thinks I am totally cool for bringing him home this one to review!

George: "Maybe we SHOULD think about other things to write about besides poop."
Harold: "Like what?"
Both: "Hmmmm..."
George: "How about pee?"
Both: "AWESOME!"

Pee and poop! It's my kind of book. This is awesomely hilarious. My 7 year old and I laughed our heads off. A+++++++

Another cute book from my son's now favorite author (sorry Mo Willems). This one riffs on How the Grinch Stole Christmas and, of course, maintains that always successful potty humor. My son eats it up and reading time is always a feature of the day's activities when we have a new Pilkey book to read.

On one hand, you know exactly what you're getting with Dav Pilkey. It's why I'm such a fan, all things considered.

With that said, what I wasn't expecting was a toilet-stealing parody of How the Grinch Stole Christmas in the middle of this book. Worth the price of admission right there.

I read the first Super Diaper Baby as a kid, so imagine my surprise when I found out that the sequel advertised in the first book actually did eventually get published! This was immature, juvenile, and childish, which is exactly what I both expect and love about Dav Pilkey's books. Sure, I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I were under the age of 11 when I read it the first time, but it was still a really great read that I would highly recommend to other childhood fans of Pilkey's books.
