I can not believe I am reading these books.
But Ike is obsessed with them and laughs so hard that I'm afraid he's going to forget to breath.
The Captain Underpants series is science fiction for kids who still like pictures with their books, but have attention spans that take them beyond typical picture books which rarely top 20 pages.
Captain Underpants books are, by comparison, more like 200 and the drawings are simple black and white pencil creations. The drawings are, in other words, just enough to help a four-year-old get over the hurdle of needing a place to put his eyes while Mom reads and reads and reads.
The book follows the adventures of George and Harold, who hypnotized their mean old school principal once and now don't know how to undo it. Anytime someone snaps their fingers, the principal turns into Captain Underpants. Tra-la-la!
It's juvenile. A lot of the humor comes from enemies with names like Professor Pippy PeePee Poopypants. I occasionally fit it a bit overly precious. (I roll my eyes when the kid heroes make comments on whether or not various plot points will work for a children's audience, for example.)
But they're action-packed, definitely fun and must easier to sell to a four-year-old boy as a first chapter books than Little House in the Big Woods is. I mean, come on. How long can a four-year-old really be expected to sit still while listening to a description of canning.
So it's Captain Underpants for us. Tra-la-la!
