The Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book o' Fun

We have recently purchased Extra Crunchy Book O'Fun after reading about half of the Captain Underpants series By Dav Pilkey, It is a fun way for the kids to learn how to draw the talking toilets and prof poopypants, there are mazes and comics and flip o ramas. My son really loves this activity book. Dav Pilkey seems to know just what little boys like to read. What a great author.

Although this isn't a great work of literature by any means.....it encouraged my 1st grader to read! He had to get everything Dave Pilkey wrote. He read all summer long! He's in 2nd greade now and has moved on to chapter books, but every once and a while the Captain Underpants books come off the shelf again!

These books are truly a delight for young kids, especially boys. It plays into their inherent sense of mischief and fun/fantasy of beating bad guys. It is also a great read for adults ask -- my wife and I sometimes find ourselves reading the books alone… Wait, did I just admit that? I better delete THAT sentence before I post this review....

It's amazing. Because you can finally draw Captain Underpants And You can also draw my favorite character George. Harold is my second favorite. plus When is Third Book O' Fun Coming out? This is the question I wanted you to do.

As my two grandsons like the Captain Underpants books, I bought some as a birthday present. A quick look at the contents left me very disappointed and the main reason for that is that the character's words are so grammatically incorrect, they made me shiver. How can these books be educational for young children, when all they learn is incorrect grammar!!!! It seems to me that they would have had more educational value if the correct words had been used. I wish that I had reviewed these books before buying them.

Ever on a quest to discover delicious books that would tempt my struggling and most reluctant readers, I decided to get past the title and those "tightie whities" on the cover. So as the school year began, I finally gave Captain Underpants a try. I purchased several copies of Dav Pilkey's Epic Novels & casually added them to the "buffet table." Most of the seven to eleven year olds in my special ed class shy away from "challenging chapter books." So for them, the Extra Crunchy Book O' Fun works on many levels. It makes Captain Underpants accessable to all my students, and meets the diverse needs and interests of each one. It has all kinds of reading & all kinds of learning for all kinds of kids.
Mine all learn differently, most have attention-deficit disorder & many would rather draw than read any day of the year. A quote from this book is now the theme of an interactive bulletin board,
"...be prepared to suffer for your art." It's been so motivating that now I've bought each student his/her own personal copy of The CU Extra-Crunchy Book O' Fun. They'll be great holiday gifts.
I began reading the first epic novel aloud during shared reading and students started sitting still, listening attentively, for longer and longer stretches each day. AMAZING!! Dav Pilkey is a genius! Harold and George and Captain Underpants have brought us through some of the darkest days in our lifetime. Laughter truly does heal. Dav's books are now flying off the "buffet table." We have added so many more, including the deliciously cheesy Giant Robot series of easier chapter books. Our inquiry-based literacy projects have been enriched by Dav's web site(davpilkey.com).
How students wish "WEDGIE POWER" would work on the terrorists! If they reissue Dav's first book, World War Won, we may find out!

As huge Captain Underpants fans, my kids loved this activity book. They loved the comics, the jokes, the puzzles, the silliness, the everything. They had a blast with this activity book. If your kids are fans of the series, you definitely don’t want to pass this one up.

I bought my nephew this book as his first chapter book and he absolutly loved it, he sat down and read it in one day, and he just turned six. I am not bothered by the misspelled words. After all these books are supposed to be written by 2nd graders, and at that young an age teachers should not be correcting spelling, they should be encouraging children to sound out a word, and then make an educated guess as to how it is spelled. It's about recognizing letter sounds, and letter combinations, not exact spelling. That comes later. I plan on getting the entire series for my nephew for christmas.

My son loves the Captain underpants series and this is one set of books that even makes me smile. I thought we would tire of them after a few, bit so far each has been fun and makes bedtime easy. My son loves these books so much that sometimes I find him running through the room with a cape and underpants on going "tra-laa-laaa" :-)

My son has enjoyed listening to Dav Pilkey books for years. We would read them to him as an infant, toddler and now he loves to read them himself. He has read the books Dav Pilkey wrote for school age children, all of them. The "Book O' Fun" books, he really has appreciated the activities included in the fun pack books, based on "The Captain Underpants Series." He is especially fond of the step by step examples given for drawing the different characters. We would recommend any of Dav Pilkey books. Your child can grow with the wide range of creative books Dav Pilkey has published. I suggest parents browse Dav Pilkey's various book collection and maybe even give him a try.

Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book O' Fun is about a superhero named Captain Underpants who protects his town from evil. The authers name is dav pilkey. George, Harold, and Captain Underpants are the main characters. George and Harold are funny. They play hilarious pranks on clueless Mr. Krupp and get caught in some very puzzle-ing situations. I would recommend this book to people who like funny books.

I really liked the Crunchy Book of Fun. My favourite thing about it was the Professor Poopy Pants word search. My father helped me with that and I did some on my own. I like it so much that my mom and dad are geting me the second Extra-Cruncy Book of Fun. It is my favourite Captain Underpants book and I like all of them so far (I have read the first 6).
