My husband and I made the mistake of buying a few of these books for our 8 year old son without reading the books first. The covers of the books make them seem innocent, fun, and like a perfect book to get kids to start reading. These books are truly disappointing because they're not entirely terrible. There are some good elements of humor and interesting stories, but the bad is not worth the good in my opinion. He just crosses the line as to what would be deemed appropriate to enter the minds of young children while over stepping the boundaries of what parents would agree to expose their children to. Because of these books my son thinks it's okay to write "cuz" instead of "because." Because of these books my son has quadroopled the amount of potty words he says and writes about. These books are squashing his creativity and filling his head literally with poop. No longer does he make up his own stories and plots but copies the mini stories from these books and passes them off as his own idea. He has started using phrases like "aint" instead of saying "I don't like peas anymore" he would say "I don't like no peas!" These books are causing regression in his intelligence vs progression. There is a difference between imagination and perversity. The behavior and character of George and Harold have zero respect, zero compassion or regard for others, and are down right rebellious. I also can't believe the number of times a naked butt appears in these books. What in the world is wrong with these people? They are truly trying to dumb us and our kids down. Skip this and go on a hunt for tasteful literature or even write your own stories for goodness sake. Parents, I am so sure you can write better stories for your children than this. Do not rely on the media to provide stories for your children. From Captain Underpants to Dogman I truly think that any parent who wishes for their child to contribute some value into the world should stay away from these books.
