Captain Underpants, the beloved series by author Dav Pilkey just released the 12th book in the series on August 25th.
There's something rotten in the state of Ohio, and it's smellier than a pile of putrid gym socks! Steer clear–it's Sir Stinks-A-Lot!
George, Harold, and their doubles, Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold, have a good thing going. Two of them go to school, while the other two hide in the tree house and play video games all day–then they switch! But when their malicious gym teacher, Mr. Meaner, creates a method of mind control that turns their fellow students into attentive, obedient, perfect children, the future of all humanity will be in their hands!
My adorable daughter Annabella shares some of her thoughts on this new book in the video below. Check it out:
Best friends George Beard and Harold Hutchins are the unofficial class clowns of fourth grade. There’s nothing they love more than making comic books about a silly superhero named Captain Underpants. But now they’ve accidentally transformed their mean school principal, Mr. Krupp, into Captain Underpants himself! Join George, Harold, and the Waistband Warrior as they fight for Truth, Justice, and all that is Pre-Shrunk and Cottony – and save the world, too!

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he suffered from ADHD, dyslexia, and behavioral problems. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hall every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories, so he spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books.
In the second grade, Dav Pilkey created a comic book about a superhero named Captain Underpants. His teacher ripped it up and told him he couldn’t spend the rest of his life making silly books.
Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
Dav continues to create books in the Pacific Northwest where he lives with his wife. Visit him online at www.pilkey.com.

My kids love Captain Underpants books. They are always reading them.
My kids love this series of books! Your daughter did an awesome job on her review!
I am so excited that my son is almost to this point in his read! Is that sad that I am excited? LOL I think this series is cute and great for kids!
Your daughter is too cute! I love hear opinion of the book. My sons are fascinated by these books as well. They find them funny and exciting!
My son would have loved a series like this. I sure wish these had been around for him to enjoy.
I think these Captain Underpants books looks hysterical. I believe my 6th grader used to read them when she was a little younger.
My son had absolutely no interest in reading when he was younger, until Captain Underpants came along. It really changed the dreaded 20 minutes of reading each night into a pleasure.
I love the Captain Underpants series. So much fun. And the artwork is always quirky!
We don’t have this yet! Loved reading your reviews and getting to know more about Captain Underpants, I’m getting these for my boys. They definitely would love them!
My son loved Captain Underpants. He’s been collecting this and he’ll be so glad to hear the 12th book in the series is out.
We’ve never really came across this book when my kids were little. Both of them love reading though.
This is hilarious to me!! I don’t have kids and so I have never had to potty train anyone before.
My kids used to love Captain Underpants when they were younger. I know a few little ones i could give this to for a birthday gift.
That looks like a really cute book for kids. I will share it with some parents who I know have kids who might love this. 🙂
This sounds like a series I would love for my son to read. Hearing the author’s back story gives me so much hope for my son who has similar issues.
My second oldest loved the Captain Underpants series. I bet he’d still read one if he came across it and he’s 22 now. 😉
My kids love these books. Especially my son and I can’t get him to read much but he will devour some captain underpants!
This sounds like a great read for my nephews and niece for sure . I will have to share this with my sister. I love how your daughter told the story and did a great job doing so. Thanks for sharing.
i know alot of people who read this! I will have to show it to my hephew he would love this thanks!
My boys would like this show. Ill have to check it out.
This is interesting to read, Im sure my kids would love to read by myself for them.
