Title: The whoopie cushion is the best part
Review: I'm sure kids find these books hilarious. I find them mildly amusing (especially the whoopie cushion), but I also find them troubling. I like the premise -- two kids writing their own comic books, their principal turning into an underwear-clad superhero -- but what bothers me is that in the kids' comic strips, the author has purposely misspelled dozens of words, as if ignorant children have written the captions. For the adults this is cute, but for the children who read these cartoons over and over again these misspellings will become fatally etched in their memories. Spare us the cutesy backward letters, Mr. Pilkey, and help children learn how to spell.
