Summary of Hank The Cowdog: The Further Adventures of Hank the Cowdog

The pages are p. 1-133 it have ch. 1-12. I like this good book and it is by John R. Erickson and illustrations by Gerald L. Holmes. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

It's me again, Hank the Cowdog. As I recall, it was the 14th of May when the silver monster bird swooped down on the ranch and threatened us with death and destruction. Or was it May 15th? Could have been the 16th. Anyway...Sliver monster birds are huge creatures with a body that's long and skinny, resembles the body of a snake, which makes me think they might be a cross-breed between a bird and a reptile. The head sort of confirms that, because it has a sharp noes and two wicked eyes. In other words, it ain't your usual bird head. Oh yes, did I mention that they don't have a beak?

No beak whatsoever. That's a pretty important clue right there. It ain't natural. Show me a bird without a beak and I've got some questions to ask him. Another thing about the silver monster birds is that they have shinny feathers-not your usual dull brown or glossy black, but bright, shiny silver feathers. And a lot of the monster birds will have a white marking on the side which resembles a star. They have big drooping wings with several things growing out of the underside. I call them "things" because I don't have a technical term for them yet.

Long story short he got whooped. The author and illustration biography said "John R. Erickson began writing stories in 1967 while working full time as a cowboy, farmhand, and ranch manager in Texas and Oklahoma-where two of the dogs were Hank and his sidekick Drover. Hank the Cowdog made his debut a long time ago in the pages of The Cattleman, a magazine about cattle for adults. Soon after, Erickson began receiving "Dear Hank" letters and realized that many of his eager fans were children. The Hank the Cowdog series won Erickson a Publishers Weekly "Listen Up" Award for Best Humor in Audio. He also received an Audie from the Audio Publishers Association for Outstanding Children's Series. The author of more than thirty-five books, Erickson lives with his wife, Kris, and their three children on a ranch near his boyhood home of Perryton, Texas. Gerald L. Holmes met John Erickson after moving to Perryton, Texas, a long time ago...and that's when Hank and his pals came to life for the first time in pictures. Mr. Holmes has illustrated numerous cartoons and textbooks in addition to the Hank the Cowdog series." In book 2 in 1983. To go to the website is http://www.hankthecowdog.com.

Summary of Great Communicator The Story of Ronald Reagan

The pages are p. 1-128 it have ch. 1-12. I like this good book and it is by Jeff C. Young. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

Ronald Wilson Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois, on February 6, 1911. With a population of only 849 people, Tampico did not have a doctor, so Ronald's mother went through labor in the family's apartment above the general store Ronald's father managed. The midwife informed Ronald's mother her baby was breach and would be born feet forward. This was a dangerous situation. Fortunately, a physician who had been stranded in Tampico by a snowstorm the day before was able to come over and deliver the ten-pound baby. It was Ronald's large size that reminded his father of a fat and prosperous Dutchman, and the nickname Dutch stuck from birth. His father, John Edward Reagan, was a handsome, athletic man most people knew as Jack. He worked in retail sales as a shoe salesman and store clerk.

He was a good-hearted and intelligent man who struggled his entire life with an alcohol problem. He was not abusive to his family, but there were frequent job and address changes. Between the ages of six and ten, Ronald attended a different school every year. Reagan's mother, Nelle Wilson, met Jack while shopping. They were married in 1904. Their first son, John Neil, was born in 1909. Jack was Catholic and insisted that Neil be baptized in the same faith.

Long story short Nelle was an active member of the Disciples of Christ church. The author does not have a biography about him. To go to the website is http://www.ronaldreagan.com.

The pages are p. 1-133 it have ch. 1-12. I like this good book and it is by John R. Erickson. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

It's me again, Hank the Cowdog, I just got some terrible news. There's been a murder on the ranch. I know I shouldn't blame myself. I mean, a dog is only a dog. He can't be everywhere at once. When I took this job as Head of Ranch Security, I knew that I was only flesh and blood, four legs, a tail, a couple of ears, a pretty nice kind of nose that the women really go for, two bushels of hair and another half bushel of Mexican sandburs. You add that all up and you don't get Superman, just me, good old easygoing Hank who works hard, tries to do this job, and gets very little cooperation from anyone else around here. I'm not complaining.

I knew this wouldn't be an easy job. It took a special kind of dog-strong, fearless, dedicated, and above all, smart. Obviously Drover didn't fit. The job fell on my shoulders. It was my destiny. I couldn't escape the broom of history that swept through...anyway, I took the job. Head of Ranch Security. Glee, I was proud of that title.

Long story short he left and came back. The author biography said "John R. Erickson began writing stories in 1967 while working full time as a cowboy, farmhand, and ranch manager in Texas and Oklahoma-where two of the dogs were Hank and his sidekick Drover.

I like this good book and it the second graphic novel by George Beard and Harold Hutchins the creators of captain underpants. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

This is Ook Schadowski and Gluk Jones. Ook is the kid on the Left with the missing tooth and the stringy haircut. Gluk is the kid on the right with the Lepard Spots and the afro. Remember that now! Ook and Gluk lived way back in the year 500,001 B.C. in a villege called Caveland, Ohio. Ook and Gluk were best friends.

When Ooks sister, Gak, heard the comoshen, she pleeded with Cheif Goppernopper. By the next morning they still hadent thought of anything.

Long story short they grew up in the year 499,994 B.C..

Summary of Captain Underpants And The Wrath Of The Wicked Wedgie Woman

The pages are p. 1-176 it have forward and ch. 1-29. I like this good book and it an epic novel by Dav Pilkey. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

This is George Beard and Harold Hutchins. George is the kid on the left with the tie and the flat-top. Harold is the one on the right with the T-shirt and the bad haircut. Remember that now. At most schools, the teachers try to emphasize "the three Rs" (Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic). But George and Harold's teacher Ms. Ribble was more concerned with enforcing what she called "the three Ss" (Sit down, Shut your pie holes, and STOP DRIVING ME CRAZY!) While this was unfortunate for all of her students, it was especially bad for George and Harold, because they were very imaginative boys. You see, imagination was not really encouraged at George and Harold's school-in fact, it was discouraged.

"Imagination" would only get you a one-way ticket to the principal's office. This was sad for George and Harold, because they didn't get straight As, they weren't sports stars, and they could barely walk down the hallway without getting into trouble....See what I mean?!!? But George and Harold had one thing that most of the other folks at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School didn't have: Imagination. They were full of it! And one day they would use that imagination to save the entire human race from being overthrown by a crazed woman with even crazier super powers. In chapter 2 said One fine day, George and Harold's homeroom teacher, Ms. Ribble, entered the classroom looking a bit meaner than usual. In chapter 3 said Ms. Ribble went around the classroom handing out envelopes, sheets of construction paper, and butterfly stencils to all of the children. Then she wrote a poem on the chalkboard.

Long story short she made Robots called Robo-George and the Harold 2000. The author biography said "He has written and illustrated numerous popular, award-winning books for children. The Adventures of Captain Underpants, which has more than a million copies in print, was an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists and a Publishers Weekly "Cuffie" Award winner of the Funniest Book of the Year; Dog Breath was awarded the California Young Reader Medal; The Paperboy was chosen as a Caldecott Honor Book; and his four latest Captain Underpants books were all national bestsellers in their first weeks of publication. Dav Pilkey also illustrated the IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award-winning Dumb Bunnies books. He and his dog live in Portland, Oregon." In book 5 in September 2001.

Long story short they took a picture in the newspaper.

Summary of Captain Underpants And The Preposterous Plight Of The Purple Potty People

The pages are p. 1-176 it have forward and ch. 1-32. I like this good book and it an epic novel by Dav Pilkey. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

This is George Beard and Harold Hutchins. George is the skeleton on the right with the tie and the flat-top. Harold is the one on the left with the T-shirt and the bad haircut. Remember that now. As you might remember from our last adventure, George and Harold had recently made the horrifying mistake of trying to pass through a synthetic time warp without letting the C-2X906 super-bimflimanatrix drive of their beebleflux-capacitating zossifyer cool down, thus creating a sub-paradoxical, dimensionalistic alternicon-shift, which opened up a hyper-googliphonic screen door into a sub-omnivating ultra-zinticular bio-nanzonoflanamarzipan. To put it in scientific terms, they screwed up. But don't get all freaked out because everybody looks like a skeleton. X-ray beams are a normal by-product of inter-dimensional reality shifting.

George, Harold, and their loyal pets suddenly found themselves wishing that they had never set foot inside the petrifying Purple Potty that was about to send them all on a journey into the hoffifying abyss of the unknown...a journey that would probably spell impending doom for themselves, and would most likely bring about the end of our civilization as we know it. In chapter 2 said It's been said that adults spend the first two years of their children's lives trying to make them walk and talk and the next sixteen years trying to get them to sit down and shut up. It's the same way with potty training: Most adults spend the first few years of a child's life cheerfully discussing pee and poopies, and how important it is to learn to put your pee-pee and poo-poo in the potty like big people do. But once children have mastered the art of toilet training, they are immediately forbidden to ever talk about poop, pee, toilets, and other bathroom-related subjects again. Such things are suddenly considered rude and vulgar, and are no longer rewarded with praise and cookies and juice boxes. One day you're a superstar because you pooped in the toilet like a big boy, and the next day you're sitting in the principal's office because you said the world "poopy" in American History class (which, if you ask me, is the perfect place to say that word). You're probably wondering, "Why would adults do that? Why would they encourage something one day and discourage it the next?"

Long story short the next adventure is Captain Underpants And The Terrifying Return, Of Tippy Tinkletrousers. The author biography said "He has written and illustrated numerous popular, award-winning books for children. The Adventures of Captain Underpants, which has more than three million copies in print, was an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists and a Publishers Weekly "Cuffie" Award winner of the Funniest Book of the Year; Dog Breath was awarded the California Young Reader Medal; The Paperboy was chosen as a Caldecott Honor Book; and his' latest Captain Underpants books were all national bestsellers in their first week of publication. Dav is also the creator of the IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award-winning Dumb Bunnies books and the author of the Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot series. He lives with his wife on an island in the Pacific Northwest." In book 8 in September 2006. To go to the website is http://www.pilkey.com and http://www.scholastic.com/captainunderpants/

Summary of The Adventures Of Super Diaper Baby

The pages are p. 1-128 it have forward and ch. 1-5 and the bottom is fun stuff on forward and drawning. I like this good book and it the first gtaphic novel by George Beard and Harold Hutchins the creators of captain underpants. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

Our story begins as a car is speding to the hospital. But what Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins Dident know was that there new Baby would have a Job...as a SuperHero! This is Deputy Dangerous and Danger Dog. Deputy Dangerous is the one on the left with the cowboy hat and the aposible thumbs. Danger Dog is the one on the right with the tail and flea problem. Remember that now. Deputy Dangerous was mean and ruthless. Danger Dog was also bad too.

Together they opened up a underware laundry. But it was a trap! Soon came the moment that Deputy Dangerous was waiting for. Then Deputy Dangerous Zapped Captain Underpants with His "Super Power Taker-Awayer Ray 2000". Danger Dog used his new lazer eye powers to burn a hole in the wall. So Deputy Dangerous rode on his flying dog through the city with the cops in hot persoot. At the very moment, Deputy Dangerous and Super Danger Dog were flying by. And so Super Diaper Baby flew up and was reyunited with his Mom and Dad.

Long story short they kept the dog. The author and illustrator biography said "GEORGE BEARD (age 9 3/4) is the co-creator of such wonderful comic book characters as Captain Underpants, Timmy the Talking Toilet, and The Amazing Cow Lady.

The pages are p. 1-176 it have forward and ch. 1-31 and the bottom is fun stuff on forward, ch. 11, and ch. 23. I like this good book and it an epic novel by Dav Pilkey. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

This is George Beard and Harold Hutchins. George is the kid on the left with the tie and the flat-top. Harold is the one on the right with the T-shirt and the bad haircut. Remember that now. This is Mr. Krupp, Melvin Sneedly, and Sulu the Bionic Hamster. Mr. Krupp is the one on the left with the underwear and the bald head. Melvin is the one on the right with the bow tie and the glasses. And Sulu the Bionic Hamster is the hamstery-looking one in the middle with the laser eyeballs, the Macro-Hydraulic Jump-A-Tronic legs, the Super-Somgobulating mini-Automo-Arms, the virtually indestructible Flexo-Growmonic endoskeleton, and the Twin Turbo-3000 SP5 Kung-Fu Titanium/Lithium Alloy Processor. Remember that now, too.

And these are the Ridiculous Robo-Boogers. Three of the vilest, most disgusting, and most terrifying creatures ever to drip across the face of the Earth. Even their names was horrible, monstrous monikers, the sound of which would drive madness into the hearts of the bravest of heroes. If you dare to know their nightmarishly deplorable names, I will tell you. But don't blame me if you have to sleep with a night-light on for the rest of your life. Their names were Carl, Trixie, and Frankenbooger. See? I told you they were scary names!

Long story short this is a good book. The author biography said "He has written and illustrated numerous popular, award-winning books for children.

Summary of David's Journey on the Underground Railroad

The pages are p. 1-92 it have forward and ch. 1-12. I like this good book and it an by Linda Sibley. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

I'd been staring at the clock on the wall all afternoon. It should been 3:00 a long time ago. I was just thinking about throwing a book at the bell when it finally rang. Ah...what a beautiful sound! Christmas vacation had officially begun. Grabbing my coat, I was out the door in s flash. I expertly dodged other students. They were as anxious as I was to be free for the next 14 days.

Overall, this had been a pretty good semester for me. My parents were pleased with my grades. I was pleased with my football season. I had scored two touchdowns in the play-off game. It didn't even matter so much that we had lost. I had still been the talk of the school for weeks after the game. I ran the whole five blocks home. To add a little challenge, I jumped a fire hydrant, Mrs. Franklin's bush, and a wooden fence.

Long story short they love Christmas. The author biography said "She has lived in Harlingen, Texas, her entire life, except for one year away at school. She now lives there with her husband, Rick, and two children, Jeremy and Jennifer. Ms. Sibley did contract work for attorneys for 15 years so she could be at home to raise her children. Now she is working at a local hospital part-time. This enables her to spend time writing, which is her favorite thing to do. She also enjoys reading and searching for interesting antiques. Traveling is another of Ms. Sibley's interests. So far she has visited 24 states and 2 countries. She is always looking for an excuse to go on another trip."

Summary of Captain Underpants And The Big, Bad Battle Of The Bionic Booger Boy Part 1: The Night Of The Nasty Nostril Nuggets

The pages are p. 1-176 it have forward and ch. 1-28 and the bottom is fun stuff on forward, ch. 5, ch. 9, and ch. 24. I like this good book and it an epic novel by Dav Pilkey. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

This is George Beard and Harold Hutchins. George is the kid on the left with the tie and the flat-top. Harold is the one on the right with the T-shirt and the bad haircut. Remember that now. George's and Harold's grades in school were much like whales in the ocean: They rarely rose above "C" level. Melvin Sneedly, however (he's the kid down there with the bow tie and the glasses), always got straight A's. Because Melvin was so academically gifted, people just assumed he was a lot smarter than George and Harold. But that wasn't true.

You see, George and Harold were every bit as smart as the straight A students...but in a different way. In a way that couldn't be measured by quizzes or worksheets. Maybe George and Harold couldn't spell very well or remember their multiplication tables. Perhaps their grammar weren't no good neither. But when it came to saving the entire planet from the nasty forces of unrelenting evil, there was nobody better than George Beard and Harold Hutchins. It's a good thing that George and Harold were smart enough to get themselves out of trouble, because their silliness was always getting them into trouble. In fact, one time it got them into a really SNOTTY situation. In chapter 2 said It was Demonstration Speech Day in Ms. Ribble's fourth-grade English class.

Long story short they put Martin was the Bionic Booger Boy. The author biography said "He has written and illustrated numerous popular, award-winning books for children. The Adventures of Captain Underpants, which has more than three million copies in print, was an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists and a Publishers Weekly "Cuffie" Award winner of the Funniest Book of the Year; Dog Breath was awarded the California Young Reader Medal; The Paperboy was chosen as a Caldecott Honor Book; and his latest Captain Underpants books were all national bestsellers in their first week of publication.
