Rating:  - Not that great
After two or three of these books, the plot becomes dull and loses its humor. Also, I would not recommend these for children learning to read and write as they are filled with misspellings (picher for picture and shurely for surely). I don't quite get why this is supposed to be funny, but it's confusing and ultimately detrimental for my 8 year old.
Finally, parents take note: Pilkey has created a lucrative business based on potty humor and his inability to draw above a 3rd grade level. This is the junk food of the children's book industry. Many young children will find these books funny, but just as we don't allow our kids to eat candy and chips all day, these books should be limited.
Rating:  - Christopher Chase's Favorite Book
This book is outstanding! It is the best book I have ever read. I like it because it is gross and very funny! I give it five stars.
Rating: - My son can't stop reading these
For an elementary-school-aged child, these books are great. My son needs no prompting to read them.
There's a bit of 'potty talk' in there, but I find them hilarious!
Some of the best books for this age that I've seen.
Rating:  - My son is all over them
My son is devouring them and, in doing so, is pushing himself to read more.
The cartoon sections are deliberately laden with grammatical errors - they are supposed to be written by our two mischievous schoolboy heros - and the humor, while genuinely funny, is puerile. But hey! It's targeted at little boys. What do you expect?
Very worthwhile purchase.
Rating: - Great buy!
My 8 year old son loves these books! We read them together at night and he is in stitches. Some may wonder if the books are a bit inappropriate, but it's all in good fun. Children know George and Harold's antics are not realistic, yet they can enjoy fantasizing about such craziness at school.
