It's a wonderful exercise in blending spaces between text and life. The illustrations and language are very engaging. Delightfully irreverent and inventive. 'Includes some crazy scenes.' (  )kwilibrary | Jul 1, 2009 |   I know I would have loved reading this in late elementary school. Dude. He's a hero in his underpants. How cool is that? (  )iceT | May 18, 2009 | As a responsible adult I'm supposed to hate this book with its terrible grammar, poor behavior and comic book style. While I don't hate it, I don't love it either. I can see why the average 8 year old boy thinks its the coolest book ever. It sounds like it was written by an 8 year old (I mean this in a good way). The story itself is an 8 year old's dream. Who wouldn't want to turn their curmudgeon of a principal into a secret underpants wearing superhero? (  )MrsBond | Feb 25, 2009 | The Son just called it his favorite book. Lots of the jokes are intended for the adult readers. The kids love the illustrations and the absurdity of the story. There is more text than the typical preschooler book which makes it easier on the parent reading. ( )dougcornelius | Dec 10, 2008 | this book was full of funny things. though there was a lot of bathroom time, way more then a "normal" book, but its a good read. i remember my brother reading these all the time. i glanced at one and really didnt think i would be into it until i finished the first book. the pictures were very cartoon like and werent as colorful as i would have hoped they would be.
