Book Reviews of The Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book o' Fun
Book Review: Delightful and Delicious...Special Delivery to NYC
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever on a quest to discover delicious books that would tempt my struggling and most reluctant readers, I decided to get past the title and those "tightie whities" on the cover. So as the school year began, I finally gave Captain Underpants a try. I purchased several copies of Dav Pilkey's Epic Novels & casually added them to the "buffet table." Most of the seven to eleven year olds in my special ed class shy away from "challenging chapter books." So for them, the Extra Crunchy Book O' Fun works on many levels. It makes Captain Underpants accessable to all my students, and meets the diverse needs and interests of each one. It has all kinds of reading & all kinds of learning for all kinds of kids.Mine all learn differently, most have attention-deficit disorder & many would rather draw than read any day of the year. A quote from this book is now the theme of an interactive bulletin board,
"...be prepared to suffer for your art." It's been so motivating that now I've bought each student his/her own personal copy of The CU Extra-Crunchy Book O' Fun. They'll be great holiday gifts.
I began reading the first epic novel aloud during shared reading and students started sitting still, listening attentively, for longer and longer stretches each day. AMAZING!! Dav Pilkey is a genius! Harold and George and Captain Underpants have brought us through some of the darkest days in our lifetime. Laughter truly does heal. Dav's books are now flying off the "buffet table." We have added so many more, including the deliciously cheesy Giant Robot series of easier chapter books. Our inquiry-based literacy projects have been enriched by Dav's web site(davpilkey.com).
How students wish "WEDGIE POWER" would work on the terrorists! If they reissue Dav's first book, World War Won, we may find out!
Summary of The Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book o' Fun
Fans of the Captain Underpants series will have tons o' fun with this activity book featuring George, Harold, Captain Underpants and the bad guys from the first four books. Readers can test their knowledge with puzzles, games, cool comics, drawing tips, trivia, and more! They can also create their own comic strips, just like Dav Pilkey does. And of course there are plenty of cheesy jokes, guaranteeing lots-o-laffs!Comics! Puzzles! Jokes! Laffs! Flip-O-Rama! Stickers! Sound too good to be true? Captain Underpants (The Adventures of Captain Underpants: An Epic Novel, Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, etc.) is all about making readers happy, especially in this "really cheesy" (hey, the captain said it, not me) activity book starring everyone's favorite wedgie-powered superhero and his fourth-grade creators, George and Harold. Learn how to write your very own comic book, solve word-find puzzles, find your way out of Doctor Diaper's Devastating Diaper of Doom maze, pick up a few prank tips, make flip-o-rama pictures, complete the Cafeteria Ladies' Crazy Crossword, read all about Hairy Potty, the evil nuclear waste-enhanced toilet with werewolf fangs, and so much more. The exquisitely juvenile humor and (intentionally) unsophisticated artwork will have even reluctant readers clamoring for more from the very talented and irreverent Dav Pilkey. Pass the final exam and you can send away for your P.H.D. (Pilkey Honorary Diploma), make-it-yourself graduation cap with real artificial tassels, and a membership card. All three Terrifying Name Change-O-Charts 2000 are included, as well as a sheet of full-color stickers featuring Turbo Toilet, jockey-clad Captain Underpants, and the snickering troublemakers, George and Harold.
