Yes, I thought the same thing when I first saw these books several years back. But I've since changed my opinion. Dav Pilkey is a highly esteemed author and his work is usually a little over the top for those of us who grew up on Beverly Cleary, but these books really get kids addicted to reading. I've seen it many times. They read the whole series (these are two different series) and ask for more and I've seen many readers take an interest in Pilkey himself. They are developing their own tastes and favorite authors and these tastes and authors will mature as the child grows.
