Captain Underpants

5 books · Ages 4-12 · middle grade, chapter book

The series that proved bathroom humor could be a gateway to literacy. George and Harold are the kind of kids teachers dread and children adore, and the books reward their mischief with a world where creativity and rule-breaking actually save the day. Twelve books plus three spinoffs, and the flip-o-rama pages remain one of the most inspired interactive elements in children's publishing.
