*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scholastic Parent & Child. All opinions are 100% mine. One of my favorite parts of the day is arriving home from work and being able to talk to both of my boys about their day. They are usually abuzz with everything that happened at school as well as the conversations and interactions that they had with their peers and teachers. After working and being away from them throughout the day, I love having this time to connect with them and spending a little bit of special time together.

#CaptainUnderpants Strikes Again! @Scholastic
As long as I have been a Literacy Specialist, I have been familiar with the popular children's book series Captain Underpants, by Dav Pilkey. These books have always been a staple in my classroom library and have enticed avid and reluctant readers alike over the years that I have been an educator. My middle school students love to read all about the antics of Captain Underpants and heroes George and Harold. In their latest adventure titled, Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers, we are forced to consider a world without UNDERPANTS!
