"Real Rating: 4.5<br/><br/>Meet George and Harold. <br/><br/><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/Mazaki_Anzu/edit-1234-1427215454-11_zpsovrmpz1j.jpg"><br/><br/>These two fourth-grade students love playing pranks at school. They also love making their own comic book, Captain Underpants. <br/><br/><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/Mazaki_Anzu/tumblr_op5gmoErTt1tm5qsyo6_400_zps1fuzqwsc.gif"><br/><br/>To distribute the comic to the rest of their school, they sneak into the office of the secretary and print them up. Unfortunately for these two, their principal, Mr. Krupp, is not a fan of children especially both Harold and George. He had been trying for quite some time to catch them in their act of pranking and one day, he gets his wish.<br/><br/><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/Mazaki_Anzu/tumblr_op5gmoErTt1tm5qsyo9_500_zpstngjfd4s.gif"><br/><br/>He brings to the two boys to his office and blackmails them into doing various chores at his home but the two boys are desperate to keep from being plummeted by their fellow classmates for ruining a football game and find a small ad in the paper for a hypno-ring.<br/><br/>When the ring comes in, they head to the principal's office to hypnotize him and it works!<br/><br/><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/Mazaki_Anzu/tumblr_op5gmoErTt1tm5qsyo4_500_zpsnvsgfk41.gif"><br/><br/>Once they have him under their power, the two boys use their moment to not only get their things back but also to change Mr. Krupp, into first a chicken, and then a monkey, and finally their comic book superhero, Captain Underpants!<br/><br/><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b279/Mazaki_Anzu/tumblr_op5gmoErTt1tm5qsyo3_500_zpsxr2tf5sn.gif"><br/><br/>It is from there that all the hijinks ensue with Captain Underpants!<br/><br/>My opinion:<br/><br/>Although I am not the targeted audience with this book, it was a hilarious read. I found myself laughing out loud over the things these two kids get into with Captain Underpants. It was funny and fast-pace that kept you turning the page to the very end. <br/><br/>This would be a book that if you want to get your middle-grader reading. He or she would find it engaging and giggle at the parts of ensuing hijinks that makes Captain Underpants hilarious. George and Harold are pulled along for the ride as they try to keep Captain Underpants from getting into an assortment of trouble. <br/><br/>While reading this book, my nephew found himself interested when I started giving him small spoilers to the book that he came over to read beside me. This not normal for him. Although he does read on his own, he is often picky when it comes to books but I think now he may sit down with my Nook and read something other than the Percy Jackson books over and over again. <br/><br/>Seriously let your child read this book. You won't regret it especially once you hear them laughing."
