Amazon.com Review:
'Faster than a speeding waistband... more powerful than boxer shorts...' It's Captain Underpants! Young readers will devour this fancy new boxed set of the first five paperbacks in the side-splitting, potty-humored (literally) Captain Underpants series. These books are award-winning--but really, who cares about awards when you're reading about talking toilets and the perilous plot of Professor Poopypants? The 'epic' collection includes The Adventures of Captain Underpants, Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets, Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space, Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, and Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. (Ages 5 to 12)

Rating:  - Loving these books!!!
I was a little worried when my brother bought the first book for my then 6 year old (now 7 year old) son. It set on my sons book shelf for about a year as we read through other books he had. The about a month ago he asked me to read it with him. I was hooked, it is so easy to read and so entertaining that I had hardly noticed we had read for about an hour and finished the book. We rushed out the next day to buy another one, and then another. We are now on the 3rd one. My son also likes to read ahead ... Read More
Rating:  - Not that great
After two or three of these books, the plot becomes dull and loses its humor. Also, I would not recommend these for children learning to read and write as they are filled with misspellings (picher for picture and shurely for surely). I don't quite get why this is supposed to be funny, but it's confusing and ultimately detrimental for my 8 year old.
Finally, parents take note: Pilkey has created a lucrative business based on potty humor and his inability to draw above a 3rd grade level. ... Read More
Rating: - Christopher Chase's Favorite Book
This book is outstanding! It is the best book I have ever read. I like it because it is gross and very funny! I give it five stars.
Rating: - My son can't stop reading these
For an elementary-school-aged child, these books are great. My son needs no prompting to read them.
There's a bit of 'potty talk' in there, but I find them hilarious!
Some of the best books for this age that I've seen.
Rating:  - My son is all over them
My son is devouring them and, in doing so, is pushing himself to read more.
The cartoon sections are deliberately laden with grammatical errors - they are supposed to be written by our two mischievous schoolboy heros - and the humor, while genuinely funny, is puerile. But hey! It's targeted at little boys. What do you expect?
Very worthwhile purchase.
