Granted I’m American- but I don’t find the book amusing. It is full of slap stick cliches and “lists” that are supposed to bring laughs, but any driving story seems to be missing. I’m reading with a grade 3 ESL learner- and he definitely doesn’t find it funny as every bit of slang needs to be explained. My son (9) started reading it as well, while it brought a few laughs he was soon happy to abandon it and return to the equally slapstick, but much more action packed pages of Captain Underpants.
