Captain Underpants and the Big Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part 2: Revenge of the Ridiculous Robo-Boogers

Dav Pilkey
Update: 17 March 2017I've been meaning to update this for months. Original review has been deleted / changed from 1 to 5 stars / I'm an a-hole, etc.I took major issue with my (then) 6 year-old bringing the Captain Underpants books home from the school library. I couldn't understand why any public school would even have these books: the main characters are disrespectful little sh*ts who mock their teachers and classmates and get in trouble all the time. Oh, and half the words in the book being purposely misspelled made me want to smash something. I may have said something in my original review about this being the kind of book that turns kids stupid. Well, whatever.I took my kid to a Dav Pilkey book signing, and, well, fine, I admit it, I was wrong. Pilkey himself was a complete class act, a total natural with the kids. He quizzed them on elements of the novels and gave out hand drawn posters to the winners. He also prepared an animated slideshow telling the story of his novel being rejected by publishers hundreds of times until someone finally accepted it -- it was a really sweet lesson of persevence for the kids. I also liked that he talked openly about having ADHD, and explaining that while the condition made him a sucky student, it also made him a great comic book author, which led him to creating Captain Underpants. He also said that he based the two main characters on himself as a gradeschooler, and like the characters in his books, he wasn't bad at all, but bored by traditional school and labeled an underachiever because of his ADHD. All of this is important stuff for kids today to hear. Oh, and Pilkey should be credited for covering these heavy topics in a way that kept the kids engaged, laughing, and happy. My kid and I somehow ended up ass-last in the book signing line, and an hour later when it was *finally* my kid's turn, Pilkey treated my son as if he were the first kid he'd seen all day. The guy talked to my 7 year old about writing books, answered his questions about the novels, and signed and drew a personalized picture in every single novel in the stack we'd brought to the table.Sigh. Like I said, I'm an a-hole. These books won't turn your kid stupid. Children recognize and laugh at the misspelled words, and correct them as they read. The main characters do and say things that young readers recognize as over the top or inappropriate, and they scold the characters as they crack up laughing.Anyway, the books are harmless, they bring a lot of joy to kids, and the author seems like a really nice person. Disregard my original review. And if you're reading, Dav, sorry about that.
