My eldest is a devotee of all things Pilkey, and he's getting his younger siblings into the Pilkey-verse, too. Yesterday we had some errands to run, and he needed an audiobook for a summer reading challenge, so we found this one available on Libby.

Pilkey gets kids. Fart jokes abound, the kids are smarter than the adults, the teachers' names are perfectly ridiculous (Ms Ribble and Miss Guided are my faves), purely funny silly fun. Cont'd 👇

TheKidUpstairs I've always enjoyed reading these with my kids, just because they love them so much and are so engaged when reading them. But this was my first time listening to an audio. The presentation was excellent, a cross between audio narration and radio play, just as engaging as the source material. A great way to engage the kids while running errands. The whole thing was 1h15m, so we were able to finish it all between stops. 👍👍👍 2w
AmyG My grandson just jumped on the Pilkey bus….recently got into Dogman! I am hoping this fall to read him Captain Underpants as I actually enjoy the books, too! 2w
TheKidUpstairs @AmyG DogMan was my kids' entry as well. So funny and ridiculous. If he hasn't read them yet, the Cat Kid Comic Club graphic novels are great, too. Same totally ridiculous humour, but also a really cool way to learn about different forms of storytelling. 2w
AmyG Oooo thanks! 2w

A classic and could help to get students interested in reading.

Our B turns 5 (you read that right) this week. Our family spends Saturdays visiting the bookstore and grabbing lunch together. We still do the library, and our library is AWESOME, but there is something so exciting about visiting the bookstore and hanging out together. And of course we see the changes at home too. It‘s such a fun thing to watch a book nerd grow up. ❤️

Soubhiville This photo makes me so happy! I love seeing kids enjoying a book. 📖🖤 2y
kspenmoll How wonderful! My son loved the Captain Underpants series. 2y
HotMessJess @kspenmoll it‘s been an absolutely awesome book for us. He loves the comic aspect and George and Harold! They are super delightful books!! I‘m glad they exist 2y
HotMessJess @Soubhiville me too!! We‘ve been very cognizant of letting him choose. Last thing I want to do is force him to read and make him hate it. This was a “caught in the wild moment too”. He picked it up on his own! I was thrilled. 2y
AmyG I love when kids enjoy reading. That was me! Always a nose in a book. 2y

I‘ve said it since he was born: Raise Readers. #raisereaders

Jjaxn95 I used to love these when I was a kid! 2y
HotMessJess @Jjaxn95 it‘s B‘s new favorite and he‘s in love! We really battled with getting him to sit and read with us for a few months. We stumbled on Dog Man (followed by Captain Underpants) and it‘s now him BEGGING us to read more. My heart exploded! They‘re GREAT books. 2y
Jjaxn95 @HotMessJess that‘s so awesome!! My nephews 6yrs and 5yrs are super into Dog Man. They‘re a great gateway into developing a love for reading. 2y
HotMessJess @Jjaxn95 I agree!! Dav Pilkey is definitely B‘s “gateway” author LOL 2y

I‘ve spent LOADS of time this week being told how funny Captain Underpants is, by enthusiastic young readers. Or ordering in different titles for children who have read everything Underpants we have. Or just hunting for Dav Pilkey books, cos they refuse to stay on the shelf.

So this evening I decided to actually read one… Turns out they are quite fun. And I did like the Flip-E-Rama section. I might even be up for reading more.

Tra-La-Laaa!

BookishMadHatter I've read all of these with my daughters as well as the Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club books ... several times each actually lol. We have loads of fun with them 2y
TEArificbooks The Investigators and Agent Moose are similar book series for those kids that have read all Dog Man/Dav Pilkey books 2y
Aimeesue I will confess to loving the lo-tech Flip-E-Ramas in Pilkey's books. I'm easily amused. 😂 2y

rockpools @BookishMadHatter Dog Man is on the TBR. I didn‘t know Cat Kid was a thing, but will see what we have. They‘re a lot more fun than I expected! 2y
rockpools @TEArificbooks THANK YOU! As a recovering business librarian, I‘ve a lot of catching up to do with the children‘s literature- this is VALUABLE INFORMATION. I‘ll check them out 😊 2y
rockpools @Aimeesue Same. 😂😂. I was reading on Kobo, and read the instructions SO carefully! 2y
