Book Reviews of The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby
Book Review: potty humor for the bathroom...not the school library, please
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, my review title for this book says it all: "The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby" belongs in the book rack in your family bathroom instead of an elementary school library. Even so, I wouldn't welcome it into our home! My first-grade son brought this book home from his public school library this week and I could not believe my eyes as I flipped through the pages of cartoon drawings depicting a giant, talking piece of poop. Granted, potty talk is humorous to young boys (and some girls) and what a thrill it must be for these kids to find a book in the school library that appears to validate such talk. HOWEVER, what message are we conveying to these kids when the book is found in the school library? Potty talk is not allowed in the classrooms at my son's schools and I doubt it's tolerated in most schools in the country. In my opinion, this book undermines the efforts of teachers and para-educators to curb such talk in school.
I have to agree with the elementary school teacher's earlier review here on amazon when he states that he struggled with the desire to not censor the book and his desire to uphold his school's basic core values and policies of decent, respectful, acceptable behavior. In the end, this teacher could not and would not allow "The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby" to enter his third grade classroom. I applaud him for that decision. I hope more educators weigh the pros and cons of this book and choose to take a strong stand to replace 'Super Diaper Baby' with something that won't fly in the face of what we are trying to teach our children at school.
By the way, I'm pleased to report that our school principal and librarian just pulled the book from our public elementary school library shelf today. If the students want the book, I'm sure it's readily available at bookstores and certainly here at amazon!
Summary of The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby
The first epic novel by George and Harold, the co-stars of Dav Pilkey's mega-bestselling Captain Underpants series. Now with super-cool foil covers! Shiny! Fun!
Oh, no! It's not enough that George and Harold have invented Captain Underpants, the greatest superhero of all time, and that they've also saved the world FIVE times! They defeated Dr. Diaper! They punished Professor Poopypants! And they whacked the wicked Wedgie Woman! What task could be worse?!!?
This one: As punishment, the boys have to write a 100-page report on "good citizenship," and they have been specifically ordered NOT to write another comic about Captain Underpants. So what do they do?
Aha! Meet Super Diaper Baby--the most powerful peewee to pack a punch. With Pilkey's typical over-the-edge humor, Super Diaper Baby will have kids laughing until soda comes out their noses.

Move over, Captain Underpants! There's a tiny new superhero in town. Undaunted by Principal Krupp's insistence that their essay assignment on good citizenship not be another comic book about the briefs-clad warrior, fourth graders George and Harold decide to invent a new superhero. Super Diaper Baby is born! It's up to our fearless infant hero to save the planet from diabolical Deputy Doo-Doo and his reluctantly evil pooch, Danger Dog ("I'm not really evil. I'm just in it for the kibbles."). Several robotic battles, intergalactic digressions, and "flip-o-ramas" later, Super Diaper Baby has done his duty, and George and Harold are in trouble yet again with their principal. Still, it was worth it, as any fan of Dav Pilkey's lowbrow, scatologically inclined "epic novels" (The Adventures of Captain Underpants, Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman, etc.) will attest. George and Harold's spelling is atrocious, their humor is straight off the grade school playground, and kids love every page of it. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
