Title: What was Dav Pilkey thinking?
Review: Yes, it's possible to get children to read anything that is slightly naughty (in this case, severely scatalogical), but are the parents who rave over their children's willingness to read this level of literature also pleased if their children are wild about junk food? Perhaps they are, because America's children are not only nutritionally challenged, but it seems that they are also deprived of literature that would add more to the substance of their lives than a collection of naughty words and episodes. What a pity! The only encouraging note about these books is that the buyers also bought books by J.K.Rowling, Lois Elhert and Rosemary Wells. I hope this represents a balanced literary meal for young readers.
