The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby
Product Description
Oh, no! It's not enough that George and Harold have invented Captain Underpants, the greatest superhero of all time, and that they've also saved the world FIVE times! They defeated Dr. Diaper! They punished Professor Poopypants! And they whacked the wicked Wedgie Woman! What task could be worse?!!?
This one: As punishment, the boys have to write a 100-page report on "good citizenship," and they have been specifically ordered NOT to write another comic about Captain Underpants. So what do they do?
Aha! Meet Super Diaper Baby--the most powerful peewee to pack a punch. With Pilkey's typical over-the-edge humor, Super Diaper Baby will have kids laughing until soda comes out their noses.

Move over, Captain Underpants! There's a tiny new superhero in town. Undaunted by Principal Krupp's insistence that their essay assignment on good citizenship not be another comic book about the briefs-clad warrior, fourth graders George and Harold decide to invent a new superhero. Super Diaper Baby is born! It's up to our fearless infant hero to save the planet from diabolical Deputy Doo-Doo and his reluctantly evil pooch, Danger Dog ("I'm not really evil. I'm just in it for the kibbles."). Several robotic battles, intergalactic digressions, and "flip-o-ramas" later, Super Diaper Baby has done his duty, and George and Harold are in trouble yet again with their principal. Still, it was worth it, as any fan of Dav Pilkey's lowbrow, scatologically inclined "epic novels" (The Adventures of Captain Underpants, Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman, etc.) will attest. George and Harold's spelling is atrocious, their humor is straight off the grade school playground, and kids love every page of it. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

We have been Pilkey fans for awhile and have enjoyed all of the Captain Underpants Series and Ricky Ricotta Series. This is really an extension of Captain Underpants, but it is all written as if it were a George and Harold comic book. If you're familiar with Captain Underpants you'll know what that means. Basically Pilkey created 2 mischevious gradeschoolers who make up comic books about Captain Underpants and inadvertantly created a "real" Captain Underpants. When they get into trouble and have to write an essay, they wind up making up a new character, Super Diaper Baby, which is the basis of this book/comic book. The humor appeals to children, but also contain references which will amuse the parents. Its a little harder for non-readers to follow than Captain Underpants because its all written as a comic book,...

Is it what I would run out and "choose" for my daughter to read? Not in a million years. But my daughter has been reading since she was three years old. During first grade this past school year she was tested at a fifth grade reading level. Yet she rarely read. This series has seriously sparked her interest in reading and opens the doors for more books. The "potty humor".....kids are going to be exposed to that with or without these books. I can remeber finding potty humor hilarioius as a kid. I say let them be kids, continue to teach them what's appropriate and when and thank God they have a desire to read. I'm thrilled to see a "passion" for books finally developing in my 7 year old. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Watch out for giant poo, By Rob Mattheu (Somewhere in the US) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby (Paperback) Dav Pilkey never fails to make me laugh. This book is written under the guise that his Captain Underpants protagonists, Harold Hutchins and George Beard, have to write an essay about why you should be a good citizen. The result is Super Diaper Baby, a super tot who fights for truth, justice, and the pursuit of a clean diaper. The less said the better, let's just say that parents will cringe at the thought of their child reading this, then sit down in private and laugh themselves silly. This is a great little book for young and old. |
