Uusi sankari on syntynyt!
Erno ja Huuko ovat vasta neljännellä luokalla, mutta he ovat seikkailleet enemmän kuin moni koko elämänsä aikana. He ovat luoneet Kapteeni Kalsarin ja pelastaneet maailman jo seitsemän kertaa! Mutta nyt kutsu käy rehtori Krupin vastaanotolle: rangaistukseksi huonosta käytöksestä poikien on kirjoitettava satasivuinen tutkielma aiheesta "Hyvä kansalainen".

Many may be familiar with Captain Underpants, but how many know about the creation of Super Diaper Baby? Neo pulls me into this adventure, permitting me to shelve my preconceived notions of what might entertain the next generation of readers. After the Hoskinses have a little baby, a freak accident at the hospital instils superpowers into this little one. That same accident turns Deputy Dangerous into his sworn enemy. Trying to win back the baby's powers, Deputy and his sidekick, Danger Dog, befall a few issues of their own. Will good trump evil yet again? *cue cheesy music* Neo laughed out loud many times and loved the "quick flips" found at the end of each chapter. An interesting intro to the world of comics and Underpants branch-offs.

Dav Pilkey is a witty writer and followers of the Captain Underpants series already knew that. In this spin-off, there are undeniably funny scenes and names such as Starbutts and Deputy Doo-doo. If you want a good laugh, you must read this series as well as the author's other works. This is categorized under children's books, but I reckon that this is more appropriate for readers 12 and above.

Cute, short story that my students found hilarious.

Before you assume I regressed to that of an eight-year-old boy's maturity level, know that I have a special eight-year-old boy in my life who begs me every night to read to him. Based on the company alone I would have rated the book five stars. But there is a lot of potty humor ("Deputy Doo-Doo") and fart jokes, and under Aspiring Teacher Quibbles, I'm placing the issue of purposefully misspelled words. Grr! I constantly trip up because I know what the word is, but it's written out how it sounds, rather than how it is actually spelled. Then I have the pleasure of a third-grader correcting me. Sigh. Overall, it was a fun dabble into a well-illustrated graphic novel for children.

Made both an 8-yr-old and a 4-yr-old laugh and kept their interest.

It was a great book and everything, but i think the villain turning into a radioactive giant piece of poo is a bit far. It did have fun characters and a great plot though, I would read it again.

another fantastic comic from Dav Pilkey.

Dav Pilkey is a children's literature genius. From beginning to end, as a child I have loved the Captain Underpants series, and now reading the spin-off Super Diaper Baby, I am still brought to tears of laughter as I turn each page.
Let me begin by saying this: I read this book not solely for entertainment/recreation, but with a critical eye in the likes of suggesting children's literature to parents.
Dav is a master story-teller. It is the way he writes, the style of his illustrations and the choice of words that makes Super Diaper Baby so viable for children. Pilkey makes sure his characters don't come off as an adult talking to a child about what a child is (which, let's face it, nearly 100% of children's literature books are). His stories don't come off as overtly moralizing, even though they do have some moral concepts intertwined within them (the book at hand is about good citizenship for the community).
Super Diaper Baby is so genius because it's written from a child's point of view. A comic written by Pilkey's well known characters George and Harold, the book is written the way a child would write. Therefore, children who read this book will relate to it.
I have known parents and teachers who especially hate and despise the books (especially Diaper Baby) and won't let their students read them because of the grammatical errors. I completely disagree. I think that students will learn from the grammar Pilkey uses. If I were a teacher, I would make this story mandatory reading, go through and find all of the grammar errors and correct them.
Either way, Super Diaper Baby is just another amazing story by an amazing story teller. The adventures that Super Diaper Baby and his dog will literally make you "Laff" out loud.

October 14, 2023Dav Pilkey for life. My son is the opposite of a reluctant reader, but I love that these easy-to-read, very funny, very gross books exist for kids who might have a harder time focusing or reading (and to be clear, my son loves Pilkey's books...that's why I read this one, I wasn't just reading Super Diaper Baby all on my own). I also love that he includes so many digs at things like book banning and standardized testing and, in another book, Fox News. I know there are some parents out there who hate on these books because of the poop jokes and the constant misspellings, but I like them. I also love Junie B Jones. So sue me!

I love it! Billy gets the spank of life but the doctor let go of him & Billy flew out the window. Billy drank Super Power Juice and he got super powers. At the end it was a happy ending. Such a great book. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

May 27, 2016this book was about a baby and he drank some juice that made him have super powers and he had to fight pee army and a giant poop and he won and there were some cool flip o ramas because it would be like him catching his dad when he was falling of a tree and this book was funny.

This book is hilarious. I am still wiping the tears from eyes.
It is entirely in comic book form and written by two kids (although in teeny tiny print, Dav Pilkey tries to take all the credit.) The only thing I don't like is that their spelling is atrocious. I gess I am a purfekshionist.
When we finished, my son said he wants book number two. (Wait, or was this Book Number Two? Tee hee. Tee hee. You have to read the book to get the joke.) Anyway, he wants to keep giving our money to Dav Pilkey......

I like it because the baby in the story is cute.

Dav Pilkey could write a book about poop and I would still love it! Oh, wait......

This is the very last book we own by Dav Pilkey. Out of the three series we own this is my least favorite. The villain of this story is an evil cowboy that turns into a huge turd. Not exaggerating. Captain Underpants has a cameo.
I don’t want to hate on this series just yet. There is a book 2. However, I didn’t find this first story to be unique or funny. I love potty humor, but this one was pretty lame.
Stick to Captain Underpants or Dogman where there is character growth and good morals.

super funny. the villian in it turns into poop
September 10, 2014
This was just absolutely hilarious! I loved it! Set up as one of the comics that George and Harold are always writing it starts off with the two of them getting in trouble with Mr. Krupp who assigns them an essay but tells them they cannot write one of their offensive Captain Underpants comics. Soooo, they invent a new superhero, Super Diaper Baby, and give a rollicking, laugh-out-loud comic. The whole book is written in graphic novel format and toilet humour abounds, much more so than in the Captain Underpants series, but that's ok. I thought it was plain silly and all in good fun. There are a couple of jokes that are there simply for the parent who will be reading this aloud that got a good guffaw from me. Captain Underpants fans will love this and now I'm off to read the sequel! Great fun read!

I wanted to read something short and silly. This book did it for me. So funny.

Na alle avonturen van Dog Man hoeven we ons niet te vervelen want auteur Dav Pilkey komt al met een nieuwe graphic novel; Super Luier Baby! Een echte superheld in de dop!
De cover is natuurlijk al fantastisch en meteen zijn we nieuwsgierig waar dit boek over zal gaan. Bij het openslaan worden we al meteen getrakteerd op overzichtelijke pagina’s vol grappige illustraties. De stijl is herkenbaar vanuit de Dogman serie en de leuke gimmicks zoals de omsla-no-scopen zijn in dit boek ook volop aanwezig. Talloze bladzijdes vol humor, spanning en vermaak, je kunt niet wachten om ze steeds om te slaan. Je vliegt ook door dit verhaal.
Door de korte teksten die worden aan gevuld met toffe tekeningen wordt Super Luier Baby een levendige stripfiguur wat bedacht is door Sjors en Harold. Zij moeten als strafwerk een nieuwe stripheld bedenken en mogen geen oude superheld kiezen. Dat is voor hen natuurlijk geen probleem.
Je leest mee in het werkstuk van Sjors en Harold en daardoor genieten we mee van de avonturen van Super Luier Baby. Dit fantasierijke verhaal zou je bijna niet zelf kunnen bedenken en maakt ons meerdere keren aan het lachen!
En niet alleen de humoristische teksten of hilarische en soms ook spannende situaties maar zeker ook de eenvoudige illustraties, die toch veel vertellen, maken Super Luier Baby weer een graphic novel om ultiem van te genieten.
En ondanks dat je het verhaal binnen no time uit hebt, zal ook dit een verhaal zijn waar jonge lezers van zullen smullen! Dit boek is een musthave voor iedere (school) bibliotheek en zal dan ook vaak uitgeleend zijn!
Aan het eind van het boek vind je nog een heel aantal tips om leuke tekeningen te maken of leuke verhalen te bedenken. Ook onthult Dav Pikley daar een aantal van zijn geheimen, waar haalt hij zijn inspiratie vandaan en hoe maakt hij zijn teksten. Leuk en leerzaam!
Super Luier Baby zorgt voor plezier in lezen, en dat is toch wat we allemaal willen?

“I like it a lot.”
That’s 5 year old for 5 stars.
Actually she said she would give it 23 stars. (We’re still working on understanding the 5 star review system.)
What was your favorite part?
“When he turned into a poop because that’s silly. And the best part is when super diaper baby turned into a super hero.”
What did you like the least about it?
“When they got out of jail.”

It is amazing that I read it many times but still can get enough of it! I really like this book because it describes many things at the same time. Comedy, action, laughs, and many more. I would definitely recommend this to other people to read.

I don’t know why this book was on our shelf but Kaharau chose it for his bedtime story tonight. I expected a lot of toilet humour (which there was) but I was surprised and delighted when (spoiler alert) Deputy Dangerous tried to take diaper baby’s powers but actually turned himself into a poo lol

November 27, 2018 I thought this book was good. When I started to read this book I knew right away it was going to be funny and cool. Some parts were just silly but also hilarious. This time they made super diaper baby and also super diaper dog I think that's pretty cool.

The Adventures of Super Baby by George Beard and Harold Hutchins is a funny book and great for fans of Dog Man, Captain Underpants, and graphics novels. I baby gets a spank of life something happened to get through out a window. Something happen that he get super powers. Stop a bad guy, than a nurse comes to put a diaper on he and he flew her back up to the room his mom and dad are in.
It was very funny and made me laugh out loud
