My 4-year-old son loves these books. And I mean, for him to pay attention to any book for more than five seconds (let alone a chapter book!) is a miracle.

Harold and George are back once again alongside Captain Underpants!

In this book, we find Professor P. Poopypants in Swissland (the country where everyone has a really hilarious name) and he has discovered the answer to both the world's trash and food problems. He decides to go to America to show off his invention but everyone just laughs at his name.

Over at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, Mr. Fyde has decided that it is time to retire because he keeps hearing things that are causing him to question his sanity. This leaves open the position of Science teacher. Professor Poopypants takes up the job only to find that the children laugh at his name. He decides the best course is revenge and shrinks the school down. With the school at his mercy, he starts to make them change their names into something funny.

Of course, Captain Underpants with the help of his two sidekicks (can we even call them his sidekicks?), Harold and George, defeat the Professor.

This series only seems to get better and better with each book. I haven't found one yet that I have not liked. I found it hilarious when they had to change their names to please Professor Poopypants. Mr. Krupps became Lumpy Pottybiscuits while George and Harold become Fluffy and Cheeseball.

These books are funny and the illustrations are fun to look at as you read the book. If you are trying to get a child to read or know someone who is starting to read, these books would be a great addition to the collection.

These books are just so silly. My son was giggling up a storm at all of the silly names in this book. I liked the plot and found it creative and fun.

Henry loves it. I’m totally done with the potty talk + alliteration.

Hilarious continuation of the Captain Underpants series. These books are so much fun to read.
Readers will enjoy changing their friends names and cheering our heroes on as they right wrongs, save the day, and even learn something at the end.
Great book for reluctant young readers. Lots of hilarious pictures and engaging formatting like flip-o-rama.
