The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers (Super Diaper Baby #2)
by Dav Pilkey (Author) Dav Pilkey (Illustrator)
George and Harold (the co-stars of the enormously popular Captain Underpants series) are in big trouble again!
Their mean principal, Mr. Krupp, has had it with their comic books. But the boys aren't giving up, and they decide to create an all-new epic novel about a subject they've never tackled before! Dr. Dilbert Dinkle started his career as an ordinary, everyday evil genius/inventor/bank robber. But when he awakens one day transformed into a walking, talking puddle of pee, he vows to destroy every toilet in town. Will the devious Dr. Dinkle and his conniving cat, Petey, ruin restrooms for the rest of us? Or could this be a job for the death-defying duo of Super Diaper Baby and Diaper Dog?

Gr 2-4--For fans of the first installment in this gross-out graphic novel series, the long wait is over. And it was long--an ad for this book appeared in the back of the first "Super Diaper Baby," published in 2002. The evil Dr. Dilbert Dinkle has created the Liquidator 2000 to turn bank vaults into water but accidentally steps in the ray himself. Rendered a puddle of H2O, he vows revenge on the town by taking all of their toilets, and Super Diaper Baby and his canine sidekick must save the day. The book is presented as a comic made by kids, with spelling and grammatical errors and willfully simplistic black-and-white artwork--a perfect match for the tone of the book. Crude humor is easy. Funny crude humor is not. And the laughs here (and there are many) are definitely spot-on for the intended audience. There are moments in this book that might leave adults in utter shock, but that is precisely the appeal of this inspired bit of potty humor. There's no question that kids will love it.--Travis Jonker, Dorr Elementary School, MI
Copyright 2012 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.
In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.
The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.
His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.
Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.
