The Captain Underpants Collection

This collection delivers the first four adventures of everyone's favorite waistband warrior, bringing together George and Harold's hilarious hijinks and Dav Pilkey's signature comic-style illustrations. Readers get the complete origin story of how the mischievous fourth-graders accidentally hypnotize their grumpy principal into becoming the tighty-whitey-clad superhero. The boxed set format makes it easy to dive straight from one epic battle against evil talking toilets or cafeteria ladies into the next, with plenty of flip-o-ramas and childish humor throughout.

What truly sets this edition apart is the included Whoopee Cushion—a perfect physical gag that complements the books' playful spirit. The new artwork on the case featuring all the characters from the initial adventures makes this feel like a definitive starter pack for the series. Reluctant readers and kids who prefer visual storytelling will find themselves completely absorbed in the over-the-top adventures, proving that sometimes the most effective educational tool is a well-timed potty joke wrapped in a superhero cape.
