Captain Underpants by Dave Pilky



By Alon Yacobi, Itamar Friedlander and Peleg Haham.
The Adventures of Captain Underpants is the first comic book out of a series of
Comic books named "Captain Underpants". The author of this book is Dav Pilkey.
When Dav Pilkey was in the 4th grade, he wasn't really good at seating seven hours
Straight and learning, he preferred to draw silly comic stories. His teacher used to
say "Nothing will come out of your cartoons, Dav! You're useless!", and look where he is now…
The main characters in the story are George Beard and Herold Hachins, two students
in the 4th grade, they are great pranksters, for example they glued all the chairs in
the science convention, and no one was able to get up their chair.

But if you ask them, they are good, sweat and smart, just not so good at sitting and
learning… they prefer to either prank someone or sit at George's tree house and draw comics.
Their best comic was "Captain Underpants".
One day, there was a big football game and their mean, nasty, ugly, evil, vicious
principal, Mr. Kroop, caught them putting sneezing powder in the cheerleader's
ponpons, and filling the band's tools with bubble soap, and putting in the ball of the
football game helium , and the ball flew up and up and up, and never came back, so everyone went home upset.
As a punishment their evil principal, Mr. Kroop, told them that if
they won’t wash his car, won’t pull prank, and won't do tons of homework that he
gave them he will make sure that the football team will see the security tape of their pranks.
George and Herold didn’t want to be killed by the football team so they obeyed and
suffered. In order to escape their misery, they ordered a hypnotizing ring and
hypnotized the principal and turned him into the heroic, brave, always willing to
help, but yet hasty, Captain Underpants! Tralalalala!
At the beginning it was funny, but later Mr. Kroop ran away and tried to save the
world from the evil Professor Dipper. After hilarious adventures, George, Herold and
Captain Underpants defeated the evil Professor Dipper.
In the end, the boys didn’t know how to re- change their principal to his old, nasty
form, so they did the worst thing to do, they poured water on him! And ever since,
every time someone snaps his fingers he becomes captain underpants once more,
and gets hilarious troubles with his little friends, George and Herold.

We loved every single sentence in this book, it was an hilarious and smart, well-
written book. We recommend this book for kids and adults as one.
The book is based on the idea that the children are the best, and the
adults are evil, mean and don’t know how to have fun (just like in the real life).
The idea of the book came from Dav Pilkey's childhood.
