Captain Underpants seems to be quite popular since I was a kid. A quick check shows that this title was first published in 1999, which is 20 years ago!
Suitable for 7-9 year olds.
Chapter book with lots of illustrations, a few pages of comics and some old school flip animation to make reading even more fun. Approx 130+pages, great to interest children who prefer comics to usual chapter books.
My P1 child read the book first and when I was reading the book to my 2.5yo, she sat in to listen because she really like the story.
To be honest I have never thought of picking up any CU books for my kids because I didn't think a character in underpants would be a suitable protagonist. Read on and found that it's actually not as bad as I had thought.
I like some of the descriptive phrases and the comic book portions in the book is great as an editing (spot the mistake) exercise. The comics in the story is created by children in the story thus there were some errors (check out last picture for example)
