The First Captain Underpants Collection (Books 1-4)

Feeling a little bored? Restless? This looks like a job for Captain Underpants! "Tra-la-laaaaaa!" This outrageously funny series by Dav Pilkey is sure to make bookworms out of reluctant readers. Who could resist the subversive adventures of George and Harold, who are often fairly solid citizens: "Whenever anything bad happened, George and Harold were usually responsible." After hypnotizing their school principal and turning him into their own made-up superhero, the boys and Captain Underpants embark on several chapter books' worth of adventures. Magnificently atrocious schoolboy humor and cartoon-style illustrations have made this award-winning series wildly popular among beginning and chapter-book readers. This boxed set includes all four epic novels in paperback: The Adventures of Captain Underpants, Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets, Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space, and Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, as well as--believe it or not--a Captain Underpants whoopee cushion. Fantastic! Silly! Irresistible! (Ages 7 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
