Captain Underpants
by Dav Pilkey
Recommended for children aged 7-10, with an English level of B1.1+, who like funny superhero adventure stories.
The book is about 2 school friends, Harold and George, who turn their Head Teacher into a silly superhero called Captain Underpants. They save the world from the evil Doctor Nappy, who wants to blow up the moon.
It's very funny for kids because George and Harold are cleverer than the adults and there's lots of exciting adventure where they have to fight against evil inventors and robots and monsters.
The pictures help you understand the story.
