I am definitely not the target audience for this book (boys 12 and under). But it was amusing and the illustrations were spot on and it made a good palate cleanser after an intense read. The main attraction of this book for me was the word Snarf in the title. The Riot Brothers (of course named Wilbur and Orville) use the word to describe the situation where you laugh so hard that the beverage you are drinking comes out of your nose (to me, that situation is Snorfling). My friends and I use Snarf/Snarfing to mean collecting historical markers via photos and logging them on thr Markeroni.com website. I will say, though, that I have never used the word Underfoodle before and given that it involves wearing multiple pairs of underpants on your head, I will not be adding the word to my daily vocabulary. But if the situation arises, I will at least be prepared.

I thought this was a funny book for kids who like Captain Underpants, Roscoe Riley, etc. It is goofy humor and I was surprised to find myself laughing often at the two characters and the way they think. I like this one too because it is easier text in a book that is around 150 pages--good for transitional readers in upper elementary school.

I read this because I sent it to my nephew for his 7th birthday and I wanted to know whether he would like it after the fact. It's hilarious and, I think, nearly perfect for boys around that age and a little older, particularly if they have a brother.
