Summary
|
This
book shares how it all began. George
and Harold are two mischivious boys who are always getting into things
especially at school. When something
goes wrong at school the principal, Mr. Krupp, assumes George and Harold are involved
somehow. The boys ordered a hypno-ring
from a magazine. When it arrives they
try it out on Mr. Krupp. They hypnotize
Mr. Krupp into thinking he is his favorite comic book superhero Captain
Underpants. He escapes out the window
to save the town from a bank robbery committed by Dr. Diaper. Captain
Underpants, George and Harold capture Dr. Diaper and save the day. The boys then wake up Mr. Krupp who is still
upset with them.

Usage with students

Some
ideas that I think would be great for the classroom when using Captain
Underpants include: Identifying
Character Traits, Descriptive
Language, Compare and Contrast Graphic Novels and Character Traits
The
following website has a lot of information about using Captain Underapnt’s
Novels in the classroom.
