The Adventures of Captain Underpants is the first of the Captain Underpants series written by Dav Pilkey. George and Harold basically hypmotize their mean principal to believe he is Captain Underpants. They go on missions to catch robbers, and fling underwear of Dr. Diaper. This hole book is crazy, silly, and just entertaining. Some may feel like Captain Underpants is too silly to be used as children's literature in a classroom, and I agree. It should not be used as a book to be read throughout the whole class, or assigned reading, but should not be banned from the children. They should have to choice to read it. It is a good piece of Modern Fantasy, because we all know that a real Captain Underpants is a little ridiculous.
There are many different characters in this book that could be discussed in a small group circle or something. But I feel, again, that this should be used as a choice reading, and not assigned, anywhere from grades 3-5.
