Teachers’ Tools for Navigation: Some of my favorite things that are addressed in the series are spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and puns. The humor is intelligent and witty, and he makes sure to have his books be as entertaining as possible to keep the reader’s attention. I know that students already love the books so I would love to be able to use them in the classroom. I think that part of what makes Pilkey’s humor work is that he never talks down to his reader. As I read I not only enjoyed the stories (well most of them the booger one was quite gross), but I kept notes on different ways each book could be a mentor text. And suprsingly, I am happy I did. I enjoyed the books so much, and I found many different ways that I could use in the series in classroom. So, during the summer of 2012, I read the entire series that was out at the time. When I started teaching intensive reading, my students loved that I read so much but were astonished that I had never read a Captain Underpants book. Readers (especially boys though, like all books, it is not exclusive) love these books. My Review and Teachers’ Tools for Navigation: Ever since I started teaching I have had Captain Underpants fans in my classroom.
