George and Harold are two smart but mischievous boys. Their practical jokes get them into trouble with Mr. Krupp, the school principle, and he punishes them. The duo gets back at Mr. Krupp by hypnotizing him and making him think he’s Captain Underpants, a comic superhero that they’ve created. Unfortunately, it gets out of control when Mr. Krupp (or Captain Underpants) tries to outwit the evil, Dr. Diaper! Not only are there plenty of zany moments in the story, but some really fun illustrations that make it enjoyable. Get ready for some laugh out loud action with George, Harold and Captain Underpants!

I remembered when the robbers laughed for 10 seconds at Captain Underpants, because they saw him in his underwear. You should read this because it is funny.
