Super diaper baby 2: The invasion of the potty snatchers by Dav Pilkey
Scholastic 2011. ISBN 9780 54511 533 6.
(Ages 8+) Humour. By the author of the Captain Underpants series,
now
numbering 12 and just as popular as when the first appeared, a
younger
version has been published to tempt the lower primary aged students,
using a comic style format. With its emphasis on poo/bum/toilet
jokes
the book is designed to please that range of kids and make them
yearn
for more.
Dr Dilbert Dinkle the antihero, started out as an ordinary evil
person,
but he woke finding himself transformed into a puddle or pee and so
vowed to demolish every toilet in town. From this inviting yet very
strange premise the story begins, with our heroes, Super Diaper Baby
and Diaper Dog hot on the trail of the toilet smashers. A page
turner,
with clearly written script and invitingly funny illustrations, kids
will love following the antics of Dr Dinkle as he tries every
scenario
to demolish every toile that he and his crazy cat, Petey, can find.
Kids who loved the Captain Underpants series will find much to love
in
this new series, using the graphic novel style to grab kids'
attention.
