Well, thank you so much for asking! My nephew, who will be 10 in a couple of months, has struggled mightily with reading. He has Central Auditory Processing Disorder (like Dyslexia for the ears), and has had private tutoring with special programs geared to his disorder. Getting him to read anything has been like pulling teeth. His cub scout troup went to the library last night & he got a Captain Underpants book. He read it in the car on the way home, he read it at the kitchen table after that, he read it before going to sleep, he read it the next morning, and last I heard, he was on page 89! It is some of the most wonderful news I could receive! I am so happy for him and for his future!

My son has been checking out Captain Underpants from the library too. Love to see him reading. A bit coarse to my taste but obviously pants-wetting funny when you are 6 or 7.

LOL at Captain Underpants! My 9 year old son had a Book Talk today (summarize a book you've read and give a little speech on it)and he did one of the Captain Underpants books. HE DRESSED UP as Captain Underpants to give the Book talk! He had to borrow an adult neighbor's WHITE BRIEFS, made a red cape, and was crushed when teacher said he couldn't take his shirt off! (He did, however, put the adult briefs on over his pants, thank heaven!).

When he came home, he wrote a thank you note to our neighbor for letting him borrow his underwear . . . .my DH only wears boxers and that just wouldn't do . . . .

Can you imagine opening your front door and having the neighbor kid asking for a pair of your underwear??? Thank heaven our neighbors are good friends as well!

That's my giggle for the day.

P.S. When he asked to borrow the briefs, he actually asked for a CLEAN pair . . . hee hee hee hee hee
