More Captain Underpants

OK, maybe we don’t really need any more Captain Underpants, but this book was too funny to resist. Want a way to sneak in some extra reading for your kids without them realizing they are doing it? Try The Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book O’ Fun. This is actually an activity book of sorts that Dav Pilkey has created, but it is not your typical activity book of course. It begins with a comic strip that has George and Harold explaining to readers how to make your own comics.The comic ends with the warning that most adults don’t appreciate comics, “so be prepared to suffer for your art!” There are other comics interspersed throughout the book about “Hairy Potty” and of course the famous flip-o-ramas. There are also instructions for making your own flip-rama. In additin, there are word searches (“Professor Poopypants’s Preposterous Puzzles of Perplexing Peril”), mazes, crossword puzzles, jokes, how to draw characters from the books, and mad libs. This activity book would be great for a car trip or anywhere you have to wait such as a restaurant. Of course, the book is so funny that you might want to get Extra Crunchy  book number two to keep for yourself.
