IT begins with George and Harold tried to hypnotize their mean Principal Mr. Krupt, using a hypno ring. They make him into Captain Underpants and he raced out the window. The first encounter was a little man with a diaper that was going to blow up the moon with a gigantic laser. At the end of the book they couldn't find a way to make him his regular self, so they poured water on his head. Later when they found the instruction manual, it said without them looking not to pour water on the head or else they would go back and forth between Captain Underpans and Self by finger snapping.

I did not know that Mr. Krupp was Captian Underpants. George and Harold are the two boys in the story. They took a hypnotizing ring and hypnotized Mr. Krupp and made him Captian Underpants. They made treehouse comics and they thought of Captian Underpants and they turned Mr. Krupp into Captian Underpants.
Very funny book
it's about these two boys who have a really mean principal who turns into captain underpants when he hits his head or something. The two boys are real trouble makers. They always get in troble.
Tralalalalal-alalalalala-lalalala! Ah, Captain Underpants. The answer to the age old question of what to give boys who hate to read but are being forced to by somebody, whether a teacher or a relative or someone else entirely. There's something about Captain Underpants that is irresistible to a certain kind of boy or girl. I think it may have something to do with the combination of its comic book format, deeply silly plotlines, and the overall packaging. Whatever it is, when I'm at the children's desk of the library, I always look for this section. "I guess you can take it out... just so long as you don't own it" under their breath. For my own part, I wanted to see what all the fuss and folderol was about. What is it about Captain Underpants that leaves kids always wanting more? Whens its popularity? The first book that started it all is none other than "The Adventures of Captain Underpants", so I plucked it from a shelf and sat down to give it a good once over. A complete reading took roughly 30 minutes, if that. And my conclusion? For though we could probably talk back and forth for hours and hours about the relative merits of reading every single Captain Underpants creation, the fact of the matter is that the book is harmless fun. This is a popcorn book. It's light and fluffy and delightful. Just the kind of inane gibberish that'll lure kids to reading and keep them there. Its value is in its good natured humor and light-hearted storylines. It's not classy. It's just fun.
Interesting review! It makes me want to read this book, even though it's not quite my *cough* style *cough* :D
