My husband and I have been reading the Captain Underpants series, by Dav Pilkey to Calvin for months. We think the books are hilarious, and get a huge kick out of the Flip o' Rama chapters. Whether or not Calvin remembers the stories, having us get together and read something silly at an early age has been important. We have "mandatory meetings" where we sit on the couch with Calvin on our laps and read a few chapters. In Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, the character Professor Poopypants devised an elaborate system where everyone got a silly name. Calvin's was Pinky Bananabuns. We still call him that.
