Tra-la-laaaaaaaaaaaa! Captain Underpants returns, and he's bigger than ever, with this oh-so-epic installment cracking the 300-page threshold! (My heart sang when I saw it on the shelf at the store - my boys cackled with glee when I brought it home. Even my wife smiled, somewhat begrudgingly....) And, never fear, Pilkey Brand flip-o-rama action - also found in Ricky Rocatta's Giant Robot - returns, which, of course, as George and Harold warn, is intended "for those of us who aren't very mature" because they contain "scenes on intense brutality" (but not really).... It's especially worth slogging through all 300 pages of potty humor and sublime silliness, just for the brilliant, tightly edited, and memorable Chapter 33 - simply awesome! If you don't have kids, or if you somehow missed out on the first eight "novels" in Dav Pilkey's exquisite Captain Underpants series, which, of course, includes the oh-so-sophisticated Super Diaper Baby sagas, don't start with this book - you've got to begin at the beginning.... If the idea of phonetic mis-spelling offends you, DO NOT EMBARK on this journey! But, if you have kids (particularly boys) under the age of 16 (and, particularly, 10 and younger), I can't recommend this series highly enough. Personally, I can't wait for the tenth book.... Until then: tra-la-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa>.....

and ... finally ... the animated movie is coming ... June 2017 ... can't wait
