What is certain to make a five year old boy with a healthy sense of humor giggle so much he shakes? Why of course, Captain Underpants! Specifically, Captain Underpants and the Preposterous Plot of Professor Poopypants, which we read tonight. Fascinated by bodily functions, Roo and his friends will spend what feels like half an hour, discussing and joking about a "windy poo". A mere mention of any word containing "poo" brings on silly giggles and sparks a game of who can come up with the funniest words or sounds. Happy he has the attention span to listen to a chapter book, I'll continue to purchase books from the Captain Underpants series, and I'll admit, there are bits I can't help but laugh, too!

You can tell Ryder that his big cousin Chris loved Caption Underpants books when he was young.
