Publisher Comments:

Professor Pippy P. Poopypants may very well be the greatest scientific genius the world has ever known. Unfortunately, he has such a silly name that nobody takes him seriously! He's been laughed out of every major university in the world. In fact, the only place that will hire him is Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, home of George and Harold, those class clowns who are always making trouble.

At this point, Professor Pippy P. Poopypants is at the end of his rope. And it's terribly important that nobody at his new school laugh at his name...because if just one more person makes fun of Poopypants, it might just drive him off the deep end! Needless to say, George and Harold poo-poo Poopypants's pride and practically pulverize it to pieces. Now, Poopypants is preparing to pounce!

Step up to witness a brief encounter of the cottony kind...For, oddly enough, this looks exactly like a job for The Amazing Captain Underpants!

Review:

"With its bathroom humor, madcap pranks, gross adventures, mini-comic strips, and flip-book pages, this rollicking laugh-out-loud cartoon story is certain to be a hit, especially with reluctant readers." School Library Journal

Review:

"Funny, creative, and somewhat irreverent, you'll laugh out loud and have fun finding your new names as you flip through the action filled pages." Children's Literature

Synopsis:

Professor Pippy P. Pooypants may be the world's greatest scientific genius, but he has such a silly name that nobody takes him seriously. When George and Harold poo-poo Poopypants' pride, the professor is prepared to pounce. This looks like a job for Captain Underpants!

Synopsis:

He defeated the diabolical Dr. Diaper....He terminated the terrible talking toilets....He saved the world from three massive, tentacled space aliens disguised as cafeteria ladies....Now he's in for the fight of his life. Can Captain Underpants and his drawers hold up under the pressure of the perilous plot of Professor Pippy P. Poopypants? It's time to probe a little further and find out in this all-new, wedgier adventure of Captain Underpants!

I teach 4th and 5th graders who have special needs. The Captain Underpants series has them reading chapter books and even talking about what's in them! It's fun teaching when students are so motivated to read.
