George and Harold's time-traveling Purple Potty lands them in a crazy place in the eighth book in this #1 New York Times bestselling series by Dav Pilkey, the author and illustrator of Dog Man!
The teachers are nice, the cafeteria serves delicious food, and the school principal, Mr. Krupp, thinks George and Harold are hilarious. Something is very, very wrong -- and it gets even wronger when the boys' pet pterodactyl, Crackers, and Sulu the Bionic Hamster are captured by George and Harold's evil-twin look-alikes. Now George and Harold must face their greatest foes yet: THEMSELVES! Can they handle this mess on their own, or will they need Captain Underpants to swoop in and save the day?
Combines empowerment and empathy with age-appropriate humor and action.
So appealing that youngsters won't notice that their vocabulary is stretching.

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
Cuando Dav Pilkey era niño, le diagnosticaron TDAH y dislexia. Dav era tan disruptivo en clase que sus maestros lo hacían sentarse en el pasillo todos los días. Por suerte, a Dav le encantaba dibujar e inventar historias. Pasaba su tiempo en el pasillo creando sus propios cómics originales: las primeras aventuras de Hombre Perro y el Capitán Calzoncillos. En segundo grado, la maestra de Dav rompió sus cómics y le dijo que no podía pasar el resto de su vida haciendo libros tontos. Afortunadamente, Dav no era muy bueno escuchando.
