Captain Underpants
by: Dav Pilkey - (Blue Sky Press, 1997) 144 pages.
The hook: OK, let’s get this out of the way. Potty-talk proliferates in this series, but George and Harold’s misadventures with Captain Underpants (along with alien cafeteria ladies, a bionic booger boy, and Professor Poopypants) have lured many youngsters into reading, while rolling on the floor with laughter.
Perfect for: Pre-adolescent boys who love poop jokes.
