Summary: Kids love Dav Pilkey's Books...
Comment: Personally I did not care much about Dav Pilkey's books, but my 7 year old son just can't get enough and that is all it matters. He had some reading problems and he just was not motivated until he was introduced these books and now he can't stop reading... he thinks they are so funny!
Thank you!

Summary: potty humor for the bathroom...not the school library, please
Comment: Well, my review title for this book says it all: "The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby" belongs in the book rack in your family bathroom instead of an elementary school library. Even so, I wouldn't welcome it into our home! My first-grade son brought this book home from his public school library this week and I could not believe my eyes as I flipped through the pages of cartoon drawings depicting a giant, talking piece of poop. Granted, potty talk is humorous to young boys (and some girls) and what a thrill it must be for these kids to find a book in the school library that appears to validate such talk. HOWEVER, what message are we conveying to these kids when the book is found in the school library? Potty talk is not allowed in the classrooms at my son's schools and I doubt it's tolerated in most schools in the country. In my opinion, this book undermines the efforts of teachers and para-educators to curb such talk in school.
I have to agree with the elementary school teacher's earlier review here on amazon when he states that he struggled with the desire to not censor the book and his desire to uphold his school's basic core values and policies of decent, respectful, acceptable behavior. In the end, this teacher could not and would not allow "The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby" to enter his third grade classroom. I applaud him for that decision. I hope more educators weigh the pros and cons of this book and choose to take a strong stand to replace 'Super Diaper Baby' with something that won't fly in the face of what we are trying to teach our children at school.
By the way, I'm pleased to report that our school principal and librarian just pulled the book from our public elementary school library shelf today. If the students want the book, I'm sure it's readily available at bookstores and certainly here at amazon!

Summary: My son love's it!
Comment: We first read this book when my son was in Kindergarten. He and his dad laughed hysterically. Of course it talks about poo and he's at that age where that's funny stuff.

Summary: my son reads these over and over
Comment: I would recommend this book because it is clever and funny. There is a bit of bathroom humor but my son loves that and it keeps him reading. It is a trade off I am willing to make.
