Gr 2–4—George and Harold, and their doubles, Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold, have a good thing going. Two of them go to school while the other two hide in the tree house and play video games all day—then they switch. But when their malicious gym teacher, Mr. Meaner, creates a method of mind control that turns their fellow students into attentive, obedient, perfect children, the future of all humanity is in the boys' hands. The catastrophe is resolved when the boys travel into the future and seek the help of their adult selves. This latest installment features several "flip-o-rama" pages that allow readers to flip quickly back and forth to create an animated effect. Like the other books in this series, the title is a combination of comic book sequences, deeply silly plotlines, and prank-filled humor. The text continues to make fun of teachers, parents, and the elderly. VERDICT When Captain Underpants first arrived on shelves in 1997, there were few books like it. Now, with fun and funny chapter books series like Megan McDonald's "Stink" (Candlewick), Dan Greenburg's "The Zack Files" (Grosset & Dunlap), and the comic-style adventures of "Geronimo Stilton" (Scholastic), the potty-mouthed caped crusader has competition. Die-hard fans, however, will likely be excited to see this 12th installment.—Paula Huddy, The Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN

Dav Pilkey is still super funny in book 12, but also treats gay marriage like the everyday thing it IS,makes ADHD kids feel good
By Keri
We are big fans of the CU series and have been for a few years now. I have read through the entire series with my son, who is about to turn 8, three times, and it never gets old. In book 12, Pilkey does not disappoint--the same gross humor and poking fun at uptight attitudes.
It could easily be argued Pilkey has an agenda in this book. Some of the humor, such as song titles from the 60's twisted into silly chapter headings, and his political humor, along with some advanced vocabulary and commentary on ADHD went above my son's head--there is no way a child would get that stuff. It was clearly there to amuse (or provoke? :)) the adult reading to the child. I felt like he acknowledged that he has a dual audience (as often parents read to their children in this 6-8yo age group), but since he is politically opinionated and quite liberal, many parents will not be entertained by his agenda (one easy example--he refers to GOPs as "grumpy old people." I'm sure Republicans will not be amused). To be fair, Pilkey has always had undertones of "speaking" (in a sense) to his parent audience throughout the series, so this is not strictly a new thing.
Pilkey also talks about ADHD. My son has ADHD, and he said at one point during the book, "that's me!" in an excited and proud way. I like that Pilkey was able to portray ADHD as something that has its upside, too, in that lots of kids who have ADHD are more creative and energetic.
The message that giving drugs or medicating for ADHD is a very bad choice is not explicitly stated, but it certainly is the underlying message of the book. I don't think kids would necessarily connect the real world drug Ritalin to the Pilkey make believe gas Rid-o-kid 2000 (the drug in the book that controls children) but it is an obvious enough message to the adult reader.
My son felt so strongly about how horrible that gas was. He actually punched the book and said "every kid has something to offer just the way they are." I don't think he's ever punched a book before--he was just SO into the story. On our second night reading it, he even came to bed fifteen minutes early and brushed his teeth without any fuss in order to carry on reading this book, as he could not wait to continue it. For an extremely energetic kid like my son to choose an early bedtime for a book is the highest possible praise. This book did not seem to have as many laugh out loud moments for him as compared to previous books in the series, but regardless, he was extremely engaged and passionate about reading it.
The other hot button issue in this book is the fact that when the boys travel forward 20 years in the future and meet their future selves, one of them is married to a man. I was really excited to see this in a mainstream children's book. For my kids, this was accepted with a matter of fact "of course, no big deal mom, why are you excited?" as I've made it a point to tell them from the time they were itty bitty that they could each choose to marry whatever man or woman they wanted. We've answered all the questions on how babies happen in gay marriages and what social prejudice is, and why the recent Supreme Court decision was necessary. For families who have not discussed these things, reading this book together could be the beginning of a conversation (if it was even noticed by the child or pointed out by the parent). I like the way Pilkey presented it--it just was, no big deal, just the way life is, no special mention made of it. It is introduced like this: "Soon, everyone had gathered together in Old George's studio. Old George, his wife, and their kids, Meena and Nik, sat on the couch, while Old Harold, his husband, and their twins, Owen and Kei, plopped down on the beanbag chair." There is a nicely illustrated picture of the scene. Then the story moves on. Kudos, Dav Pilkey. It was brave of you to do this, to take the stand that "this is what normal married life looks like." Parents who disagree will of course choose not to buy your book (and likely down vote this review into obscurity, but I'm okay with that, too.)
I expect that some more conservative families may argue children's books shouldn't get political, but the truth is, mainstream children's books get political all the time-- by excluding reality, not by including it. When families all look alike, all white and heterosexual and living in an expensive home as they are in so many childrens' books, it doesn't reflect the everyday truth of real kids in the real world. Pilkey chose to forge his own path, and it is only so worthy of note because he is among the first to do so in mainstream children's lit, which, to be honest, should surprise no one who has read the first 11 books of this series. He's just that kind of author--he makes the book he wants to make, even if some parents might not like it.
I'm sure many other young children's authors will follow suit in reflecting the world as it is in all its diversity, gay marriage and all, if not soon (I hope soon!) then inevitably in the years to come. Norms (and laws) are changing to reflect what is real for people in all their diversity, and I am so glad authors like Dav Pilkey are willing to choose to have these realities be reflected matter of factly in the stories they tell, without the story itself having anything to do with the subject of diversity. Thank you, Mr. Pilkey!

One of the more mediocre books in the series...but
By Morgan Myers
I'm willing to bet money that there's angry people who want to ban every book they see in these reviews (if that's you, you clearly missed the message of this book), but I am not one of them, despite my three-star (should really be two and a half) review. But hear me out.
This series was so much better when it stayed as the original five books. At first, as a former reader of the series, I was quite amused and impressed to see Pilkey tackle banned books (a ridiculous thing to do), especially in chapter 2. It was gold. I But then another chapter devoted to politics appeared...and another...and another. That's about four or five chapters that the age group wouldn't even understand, with very little reference to Captain Underpants or even George and Harold or the plotline itself. The pop culture references don't seem funny or clever anymore, and are just there to amuse parents. And the story gets randomly interrupted to bring you random characters who continue to spread messages about the importance of not banning books.That left me shaking my head...what it had to do with the story at hand, I don't know. The author needs to not let his opinions get in the way of storytelling...though a reference here and there in the illustrations is always classic.
And at this point in the series, the story is becoming so convoluted that it's hardly believable anymore. I mean, it wasn't realistic fiction to begin with, but the repeat characters and villains make it seem like this series' time is up. I hope Pilkey will end it soon, on a high note, rather than allow it to grow into something boring and overly political.
But if the target audience likes it, who am I to judge? I'm just a "grumpy old person" at 22, as Pilkey might say. There's good things here too.
First, the casual (read: he didn't even mention this was going to happen before the book came out) gay reference was awesome. I love that this series treats people like people, and that kindness is the way to go. More people need to be doing this and not just turn the gay characters' stories into ones that constantly revolve around their sexuality as some shows and books are apt to do. And the fact that ADHD kids can see themselves here is fantastic. So I must give Pilkey a big KUDOS there. He treats kids like...gasp!...people. Meanwhile, superhero antics, potty humor, and comics still abound.
If Pilkey stops including political agendas (I am NOT a Republican or pro-book banning by ANY means, and I was still unimpressed) and returns to simple stories with unique villains, this series has the potential to become very good again. However, this one falls a little flat. But hey, I don't want to be the ones telling your kids what to read. If they want to read it, let them. (And please don't "ban" it, or anything else!) Maybe they won't even read into it as much as we do.

Totally Disappointed
By mouse72
Like the other parents, I am disappointed that Dav Pilkey had to take this book in such an odd direction. As soon as I saw the chapter with GOP in the title, I thought to myself (as my 6 yr old sat next to me reading the book), "please don't let his favorite author go political". And he did. My son was so confused by the references to the GOP, FoxNews and other references meant to slam Republicans that he put the book down and went to play. I started reading the reviews on Amazon and realized that I wasn't the only parent that disagreed with the content. I completely accept my children live in 2015 where two men can be married (my son and I never made it to this section of the book). That is not my gripe with this book. Unlike the other 11 books, Pilkey has written a book where it is blatantly written to incite parents that are reading with their children that don't have the same political views as the author. So strange, incredibly disappointing and not entertaining for a young reader. We will find another author.
