In 'The Adventures of Captain Underpants', George and Harold's antics lead to the creation of their very own superhero when they hypnotise their school principal, Mr. Krupp. As Captain Underpants, he battles absurd villains while getting into all sorts of hilarious predicaments. Each story is a rollercoaster of fun, showcasing the boys' inventive pranks and the chaotic consequences that ensue.

Writing Style
Dav Pilkey’s writing is characterised by its playful language and engaging narratives. The illustrations complement the text beautifully, enhancing the comedic elements and bringing the characters to life. Readers familiar with Pilkey's other works, such as Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club, will find a similar charm and wit in this collection.
