Title: Don't get these for kids learning to read!
Product review: If you're thinking of getting these for your kindergarten, 1st or 2nd grade children I would suggest you pass on these books.In the captian underpants books are "comic books" drawn and written by two of the characters in the story. Pilkey, trying to be cute, has the kids constantly misspelling words in their comic books. My son, just learning to read and who loves these books, has a hard time understanding why someone would purposely misspell words. A number of times while practicing for spelling tests he has had words on his list that have been in the books and has asked if it's okay to spell his words the same way they do in the captain underpants books.It's nice that Pilkey can create a lucrative business based on potty humor and his inability to draw above a 3rd grade level but for those children learning how to read and write these books can be detrimental.
