Captain Underpants is a super popular series with kids who love gross humor and off the wall silliness. This series appeals most to younger kids, who aren't ready for the more sophisticated humor (if you can call it that) of Wimpy Kid. Generally the cut-off for which readers will enjoy Captain Underpants is between 4th and 5th grade (what Ms. Yingling calls "The Pilkey Line") Some Captain Underpants books are a mixture of text and comics (what I like to call graphic blends), while others are all comics.In addition to the classic Captain Underpants books, currently being republished in full color, Pilkey has several other series, including the even more popular Dogman which clicks with older students into middle school.
