Author/Illustrator: Dave Pilkey
Genre: Graphic Novel
Grade level: 2-5
The Adventure of Captain Underpants is a graphic novel about two fourth grade boys, George and Harold, who love to write comic books and always pull pranks and get in trouble. One day, their principal, Mr. Krupp, threatens to expose George and Harold's prank until they hypnotize Krupp and turn him into an unfortunate superhero named Captain Underpants.
Dave Pilkey authors and illustrates the Captain Underpants series. He includes several pages of flip-o-ramas and black and white illustrations that give the book that old school comic book feel. These cartoonish illustrations will be sure to have readers of all ages laughing out loud.
This book is extremely silly so I would not do a whole class read aloud of it, but I would of course allow my students to read it if they were interested. This could be the type of book that will create a reader or even a writer. This book is actually one of my childhood favorites and really got me interested in reading because of its humor.
