Playaways

This is the old version of Playaways.
From info METROPOLITAN LIBRARY SYSTEM magazine in February 2012
Listen Up! The Playaways Are Coming!
Here's one I bet you haven't heard about - it's the Playaways. No, it's not a new segment on Sesame Street. Good guess, though. A Playaway is a new all-in-one audiobook device. When you check one out from us, you'll get everything needed to listen to a recorded book, but it comes pre-loaded and the device has a place for a universal jack to make listening easy through headphones, speakers, or even a car stereo system.
It looks kind of like an iPod, but each Playaway unit contains one book-up to 60 hours of playtime. There's no screen and it comes with five narration speeds for clearest comprehension. It sounds weird to say so, but some people do listen faster than others.
Anyone in the family can use it because messing up with one is impossible. You can't erase it, or copy it, or record over it. Playaways have all the best of audiobooks with none of the weaknesses.
They even make great teaching aids. Your reluctant reader can listen to a Playaway while reading the same book, making an immediate connection between the printed word and the sound, between the indvidual meaning and the meaning in context. They're terrific for seniors who dislike the bother of changing tapes or CDs in traditional players, and who frequently don't like "messing with all that stuff." You can't open the unit so there's no chance something will go missing.
And here's another nice feature for people on the go-the Playaway doesn't have to plug into a power source so you can literally take them anywhere.
A bonus for the library is that each unit is good for around 1,000 plays. A book that's read that many times would probably fall apart and blow away. Library staff who have experimented with them on a trial basis love them, and we're not all that easy to impress when it comes to library technology.
So keep an eye out for Playaways, coming soon to a library near you. If you don't see them, ask for them at the Circulation Desk where you go to check out your items.
Playaway, the first all-in-one audiobook format, brings pages to life at the push of a button. Audio content and simple, digital technology are now merged into an easy-to-use player that comes with an entire book or audio program preloaded on it and ready-to-go.
Playaway's universal jack is compatible with standard listening accessories, like headphones, speakers, and all standard card adapters. And weighing only two ounces. Playaway is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and goes anywhere you do!
No Cassettes. No CDs. No Downloading. Just Press Play!

Summary of The Bart Book


I will name some items you might want so here it is.

Mutant Melodies All together now! A one, and a two, and a...
We Have No School Today (to the tune of "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-Dee-Ay")
We have no school today! It is some holiday!
I don't know which, per se.
But who cares, anyway?!
Show & Tell (to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
Show and Tell! Show and Tell!
Objects on display.
Oh, how dull it is to see
your Grandpa's old toupee-ee!

Show and Tell! Show and Tell!
Ashtrays made of clay.
A rusty crank from a broken bank
and a fat pet cat named Ray.

One day Nelson Muntz
brought in a bee hive,
opened it to find
the bees were still alive! (Ow, ow, ow!)

Spoiled Martin Prince
showed off his Monet.
When it slipped and ripped in two
he cried and ran away!

Oh...
Show and Tell! Show and Tell!
(etc., repeat and nauseam)
The Battle Hymn of the Blackboard (to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic")
My hands were on the gradebook where the
students' marks are stored.
The teacher burst upon the scene.
"Put down the book!" she roared.
Now I'm writing out these words one hundred
times on the blackboard:
"I will not steal gradebooks."
Man, this task is disconcertin'.
Ow, my writing hand is hurin'.
There is one thing that is certain:
I will not steal gradebooks.
I've Been Working On My Homework (to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad")
I've been working on my homework, while I watch TV.
I've been working on my homework, while I skateboard down the street.
Can't you hear the teacher calling,
"Your book report is due!"
"Here it is," I calmly answer, "All in one sentence, too."
"Here's my book report, here's my book report for you-ou-ou.
"Here's my book report, here's my book report,
All in one sentence, too."
Annoy, Annoy, Annoy, Your Teacher (to the tune of "Row, Row, Row, Your Boat")
Annoy, Annoy, Annoy, your teacher
By yelling her first name.
Emily! Emily! Emily! Emily!
You'll drive her insane.
The Super-Stretch Waistband (to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner")
Oh, say, can you see,
through the trees over there,
what so proudly we pulled
up the flagpole last Friday,
from the locker room grabbed,
leaving someone's butt bare,
when we fed the flag rope
through the
brand name tag sideways?

Up there blowing around,
a stretch waistband its crown,
you would think that by now,
they'd have taken it down.

Oh, say, does that underwear
still flap in the breeze,
o'er the classrooms, the schoolyard,
the parking lot and the trees?!

Summary of Bart Simpson Class Clown


The pages are p. 1-118 it have comics only 14. I like this good book and it is by Matt Groening. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

One comic said Bart Simpson in Elementary School Dropout how many pages is eleven. He gets a expelled and then he is not expelled by the principal. Second comic said Lisa Simpson in A Load Of Trouble how many pages is four. She wash cloths in it turn out all different colors. Third comic said Matt Groening presents Bart Simpson in Mr. Bart Krabappel! how many pages is eight His teacher Mrs. K had to stay the night with The Simpsons and then they had to leave the house and then The Simpsons stay under the bridge. Fourth comic said Groundskeeper Willie in Willie And The Weasels how many pages is six. He join the band called The Weasels and he had all the hits and he left the band.

Fifth comic said Bart Simpson in Signs of Intelligent Life how many pages is ten. He find a friend in a spaceship and he did not know how to do fun. Sixth comic said Bart & Milhouse Are Barty & Milhousy how many pages is two. They had to play outside. Seventh comic said Matt Groening presents Bart Simpson in The Return of Truckasaurus how many pages is ten. The bus broke down and they found out they build out a big vehicle. Seventh comic said Bart Simpson in One For All And Alpha One how many pages is eight. He find a book and need a one men person.

Long story short I like it. They have more comics to do. I will courage to get the book. In US cost $15.99 plus tax. I will be the best book to get.

Summary of Hank The Cowdog: Let Sleeping Dogs Lie


The pages are p. 1-135 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. The night was dark and still, the air so heavy that I could taste it. And what I tasted was...MURDER!! Drover had stumbled onto the body, what was left of it, down by the creek just before dark. He sounded the alarm and I raced to the scene. In the last light of day, I conducted my usual thorough investigation. I caught him just as he was about to run for cover. Drover shivered and rolled his eyes.

I sent Drover off to scout the eastern quadrant of headquarters while I gave myself the more difficult job of checking out the western quadrant, which included the saddle shed, corrals, calf shed, and feed barn. As I groped through the inky blackness, I found myself worrying about Little Drover. What If he found the fiend? Or what If the fiend found him? I crept through the front lot, sweeping the territory in front of me with eyes that had been trained to see what ordinary eyes were unable to see. The wind stirred. No, the wind moaned. It moaned in the tops of the cottonwoods across the creek and cried through the pipes of the doctoring chute, and suddenly I heard a crash behind me.

Long story short I like it. 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.

Summary of Captain Underpants And The Attack Of The Talking Toilets


The pages are p. 1-143 it have forward and ch. 1-24. 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. Depending on who you asked, you'd probably hear a lot of different things about George and Harold. Their teacher, Ms. Ribble, might say that George and Harold were disruptive and behaviorally challenged. Their gym teacher, Mr. Meaner, might add that they were in serious need of a major attitude adjustment. But if you asked their parents, they'd probably tell you that George and Harold were smart and sweet, and very good-hearted...even if they were a bit silly at times.

I'd have to agree with their parents. But even so, their silliness did get them into a lot of trouble, sometimes. In fact, it once got them into so much trouble, they accidentally almost destroyed the whole planet with an army of evil, vicious talking toilets! In chapter two said One fine morning at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, George and Harold had just gotten out of their fourth-grade remedial gym class when they saw a big sign in the hallway. It was an announcement of the Second Annual Invention Convention. George and Harold had found memories of last year's Invention Convention, but this year's convention was a bit different. The first-prize winner got to be "Principal for the Day." Just then, George and Harold's principal, Mr. Krupp, showed up.

Long story short they got principal for the day. The author biography said "When Dav Pilkey was a kid, his teachers thought he was disruptive, "behaviorally challenged," and in serious need of a major attitude adjustment. When he wasn't writting sentences in the detention room, he could usually be found sitting at his private desk out in the hallway. There he spent his time writing and drawing his own original comic books about a superhero named Captain Underpants. It was always Dav's dream to publish a book about Captain Underpants. Now that dream has come true ...twice! He is the popular author-illustrator of the mega-bestselling The Adventures of Captain Underpants, which has more than 800,000 copies in print. As well, it was an IRA-CBC Children's Choice, an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists, and a Publishers Weekly "Cuffie" Award winner for the Funniest Book of the Year. Mr. Pilkey is the creator of The Hallo-Wiener, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, and The Paperboy, a Caldecott Honnor Book. He also illustrated the award-winning Dumb Bunnies books, which are now featured on Saturday morning TV. Mr. Pilkey lives with his dog in Oregon." In book 2 in February 1999.

Summary of Hank The Cowdog: Faded Love


The pages are p. 1-131 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. It was your normal, average, run-of-the-mill spring afternoon on the ranch-until Drover brought the news that Sally May's baby was being attacked by a giant rattlesnake. And suddenly is became un-normal, un-average, and un-run-of-the-mill. I was up by the chicken house, as I recall, taking tesimony from J. T. Cluck, the head rooster. He had a speech inpedamun-whatever you call it when a guy whistles all his S's. Speech unpedamin. He stared at me and blinked his eyes. He rolled his right wing around in its socket.

I took careful note of the movement, knowing that it might turn out to be an important clue. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Then the eyes popped open. I looked to the right and saw them. I memorized their conformation. Actually, they looked like every other young rooster I'd ever seen: two wings, two legs, two feet, a lot of feathers, and a stupid expression. I was having a little trouble tying this all together. Again, he looked around to see if anyone was listening, then leaned forward.

Long story short On April 14, at approximately 5:32 Central Standard Time, Hank the Cowdog lost consciousness, went into convulsions, and slipped into a deep coma. Death followed shorty. 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.

Summery of Hank The Cowdog: Murder in the Middle Pasture


The pages are p. 1-120 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. On December 19, we got a snow. On December 20, it snowed again. On December 21 the overflow of the septic tank froze up, making it impossible for me to bathe. By December 22 we had four inches of snow on the ground and fellers, it was cold. It was that morning, at approximately 9:00 o'clock, that I awoke from a deep sleep and noticed something very peculiar. My bed was shaking. My bed consisted of two old gunnysacks and under normal conditions it didn't shake.

I opened one eye, perked one ear, and I sniffed the air. In the security business we call this a preliminary scan. In other words, at that point I wasn't using all my sensory equipment. There's no sense in squandering your gifts, no matter how many you have. Well, I sniffed and I look and I listened. I smelled diesel fuel but I always smelled diesel in my bedroom because the tank on the north side leaked and the cowboys on our outfit were too lazy to fix it. Now, if they'd had a fuel leak in THEIR bedrooms, they would have fixed it pronto, but this was only Hank's bedroom so nobody was worried about it. Anyway, I sniffed and I look and I listened.

Long story short it wasn't nothing. 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.

Summary of Hank The Cowdog: It's a Dog's Life


The pages are p. 1-130 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. One morning around ten o'clock Dover brought me some incredible news. He said the world was coming to an end. I had gotten in from work around daylight, washed up in the septic tank, and hit my gunnysack just as the sun peeked over that big cottonwood tree down by the creek. It had been a slow night but still I was bushed. Must have been the accumulation of long nights. This security work begins to wear on a guy after a while. I had given Drover the night off, so by the time I came dragging in he was all fresh and ready to go exploring or some such foolishness.

He asked if I wanted to go with him. They were coming out of my bed. Derned gunnysack was getting a little ripe and needed changing. You'd think the cowboys would notice something like that and give me a fresh cake sack every six months or so, but they can sell'em back to the Co-op for a nickel apiece, see, and that sort of puts a price on my services. You never really know these ranch folks until there's a nickel involved. Give the Head of Ranch Security a five-cent bed every six months? No siree, not with cattle prices the way they are. That new gunnysack just might take the ranch down into bankruptcy.

Long story short it wasn't going to end. 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.

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.

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.

Summary of Hank The Cowdog: The Original 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. 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. Hank the Cowdog made his debut a long time ago in the pages of The Cattleman, a magazine about cattle for adults.

Summary of The Adventures Of Ook And Gluk Kung-Fu Cavemen From The Future


The pages are p. 1-176 it have forward, ch. 1-6, and Epalog and extras is learn to speak caveman language. 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. They had been having awesome adventures together ever sinse they were cave babys. Once when they were 3, they went over a waterfal on a log and Ook bwoke my toof.

Another time when they were 7, they almost got ate up by Mog-Mog: The fearsest dinosaur in Caveland. And once they even traveled to the future, learned Kung-Fu, and saved there whole villege from evil Robots and time-traveling weirdos! This is Big Cheif Goppernopper. He was the ruler of Caveland and he hated Ook and Gluk. Every time Chief Goppernopper tried to be a big shot, Oook and Gluk always ruined it! One hour later, they arived at Ooks and Glukses caves. 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.. The author and illustrator biography said "GEORGE BEARD (age 9 3/4) is the co-creator of Captain Underpants, Super Diaper Baby, Hairy Potty, and The Amazing Cow Lady. In his spare time, George enjoys skateboarding, playing with his two cats, and making comic books with his best friend, Harold Hutchins.

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.

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.

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.

Summary of Captain Underpants And The Big, Bad Battle Of The Bionic Booger Boy Part 2: The Revenge Of The Ridiculous Robo-Boogers


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. 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 Pilkey also illustrated the IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award-winning Dumb Bunnies books. He and his dog live in Eugene, Oregon." In book 7 in October 2003.
