Response/Rating (1-4): *** This Pilkey novel, the third in the Captain Underpants in the series, lives up to its predecessors, providing a humorous and entertaining adventure. Students will eat up this book, while also digesting the literary elements such as alliteration and onomatopoeia pervasive within its pages.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: If you could create your own superhero, who would it be?
