Fart Squad #5: Underpantsed!

Fart Squad #5

by Stephen Gilpin (Illustrator), Seamus Pilger

It’s the fifth adventure from the crack of the crop, the bum de la bum, the stink of the litter . . . the fearless FART SQUAD! This laugh-out-loud chapter book series is perfect for Captain Underpants fans. With black-and-white illustrations throughout and a butt load of bathroom humor, young readers will be giggling from start to finish. Underwear is disappearing all over Buttzville, and it’s up to the Fart Squad to sniff out the villain who’s brought the city to a chafing halt. But the heroes better hold on to their tighty-whities. Doctor Lucius René Bottom is out to pants the city that yanked his underwear business out from beneath him—and take the Fart Squad down, too. Get ready to go commando like no kid has gone before, because the Fart Squad is filling with fuel, gaining gas, and getting ready to kick some Bottom with the foulest fart attack in the history of Buttzville!

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

For some reason this book was from Jaun-Carlos's point of view, and I'm not exactly sure why. I guess so we could get a better perspective on his dad/family? This is the only book not from Darren's POV which was maybe a little interesting at first, but mostly confusing. I was certainly confused where all the underwear went, but more confused that it made everyone SO uncomfortable. Like they couldn't move or sit anywhere--not sure underwear is actually that vital but okay. The alternate version of themselves added some intrigue. Not really a stellar book, but it's of course full of fart humor which always makes my 7-year-old laugh.

I liked this book because it has cool pictures and there's lots of fantasy. I recommend it to everyone from 1-100000000. They get their powers from radioactive burritos that give the FART SQUAD fart powers ☁☁☁ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

no real redeeming value in this series from author james frey's book packaging operation full fathom five. super-farting superheroes, that's what it's about, flatulent humor with obvious jokes and unimaginative wordplay. it takes place in buttsville, the villian is dr. rene "runny" bottom, etc. LCD humor as a foundation for immature pre-adolescent bro culture.

here's the blurb it should have: makes captain underpants read like shakespeare.
