Next, they face off against a torrent of terrifying talking toilets. Finally, the boys have to save their school when their kooky cafeteria ladies are replaced by aliens from outer space! Now in full color, with bonus fun facts and all-new comics, this boxed set of the first three hilarious, bestselling Captain Underpants books is perfect for fans and newcomers alike. There's never been a better time to add to your Underpants collection!
