I’ll be the first to admit it, I am not a Captain Underpants fan, and this book reminds me why.  Basically, I have three main gripes: first, the comics portions of the book have such bad word choice, grammar and spelling.  Is this really what we want our impressionable kids to read?  Second, I find the illustrations of the teachers in their underwear or not and pulling down someone else’s pants pretty crude.  Really?  Do we want kids to laugh at teachers?  And, third, the telling of the story is all over the place.  Kids reading this aren’t tracking a story line–it’s just snippets of a story here and there, changing as fast as possible.  This series is extremely popular, mainly for boys in grades two and three, and those who are not so mature.  I am sure that this book will be too.
