As a retired teacher, I have found that it's often hard to get kids 'hooked' on reading. My 7 yr old grandson LOVES this series!! It's corny and goofy and boys eat this up!

Me encanta esta colección de libros la ido comprando poco a poco para mi hijo que tenía problemas con la lectura lo mantiene entretenido y a la misma vez interesado en ella usualmente lo leemos juntos antes de dormir por la noche te los recomiendo además mi hijo lo disfruto porque se ríe mucho

The media could not be loaded. This book, like many in the series, is beautifully illustrated and features short but imaginative stories that leave our five-year-old wanting more. It’s a win any time we can have him asking to read!

My grandson is asking for all the Captain Underpants books! He loves the stories and the characters. Reading is so important and I am thrilled he has found such fun books that hold his attention, entertain him, and foster his love of reading. Last night on the phone, he proudly displayed all his Captain Underpants books and told me how much he loves reading them.

My kids really like captain underpants, nice colors of the image, story is fun. But I think a bit expensive.

The book was good, but just a little crack it’s fine. I’ll care about the Little crack

These books are fun to read with your kid and funny too! I’ve just bought 3 more after using the 15 years ago…
