     I liked this book for...
     I liked this book for a few different reasons. First the illustrations in the book were interesting and engaging because there were many funny comments in the pictures and the comics were made in a way to make it look like they were actually drawn by the main characters of the story. Another feature for the pictures is a thing called Flip-O-Rama were you are given directions in the book on how it works to have a fun way for reading the parts of the book with action. The other reason is that the language in the book has lots of humor throughout the story. An example of this is when Harold makes a comment about being in a different dimension saying, "No way that kind of thing only happens in poorly written children's stories whose authors have clearly begun running out of ideas!" This book is made to entertain readers with a good story incorporating humor and is a great book for some students who are reluctant readers. This is a Fantastic book and I loved reading this series when I was in elementary school.

    I did not really like this book because it kind of got me bored and all it really talked about a time machine.

    Dav Pilkey does it again! He continues with his usual tropes as expected but like last book manages to keep them fresh; for instance the switching of letters on the sign doesn't happen until after the "before I tell that story I must tell this story" bit. I love this book. Pilkey is back in perfect form! The kids go to an alternate world where everything in their lives is backwards. Added to the story is their grandparents who accidentally drink the last of the super juice creating Boxer Boy and Great-Granny Girdle. The whole book was laugh-out funny. One of my favourites in the series. Once again as has been happening in the last few books, the set up is made for the next book with the introduction of the arrival of the next villain who is the return of an old favourite!

    Hilarious book! In the whole series there is a man flying around in his underpants, his secret identify is the school principal! The other main characters are George Beard and Harold Hutchins. The school principal's name is Mr. Krupp.

    I liked this book because was a funny, easy read. The book is entertaining and would be perfect at getting student attention with its potty humor. In this specific book of the Captain Underpants series, the boys enter an alternate world where everything is opposite. Things aren't all great in this new world, the boys meet their evil twins, who end up causing a lot of trouble. I think this could be a great book to use as a mentor text when talking about literary devices such as onomatopoeia. I also think the book could be a great mentor text when talking about how to leave cliff hangers. How authors try to create suspense in their writing. In this book, you want to know what is going to happen on the next page and what crazy thing will happen next.

    Book for Grandson
    Our 8 year old grandson who didn't like to read has read a few of these Captain Underpants books and said they are really funny. He can't read enough of them.

    Boon eight in the Captain Underpants series. Harold and George's trip in the purple potty goes very wrong and they end up in an alternate reality where the library is full of good books, teachers are helpful and caring, and school cafeteria food is delicious. Alas, the Harold and George in this reality are evil and their hero, Captain Blunderpants, wants to help them defeat our heroes!
