4.0

I think I laughed a bit too much with this book. I am, after all, an adult. An old person. I read this book for this year's banned/challenged books week. This particular book in the series features something so awful and horrendous that most kids can't handle it. I'm talking about someone who is *whispers* g-a-y. OMG!!!! No!!!

Ok, now that we survived, we can move on. I love Dav Pilkey. He wrote Cat Kong and Dogzilla. Two of my favorite children's books. I think this man is brilliant in his writing. He has lots of jokes that only adults will understand and if adults are not reading these books they just miss out. It's a shame.

A few notes I wrote down while reading:

page 11 - Harold and George have 3 pets, part hamster and pterodactyls. Tony, Orlando, and Dawn. You have to be an adult to understand that.

page 15 - "These books have been criticized for words like heck, tinkle, fart, and pee-pee. These words are offensive to grouchy old people." I guess you have to be an adult to use these words because I have a perfume called fart kitten.

page 16 - GOP - Grouchy old people.

page 36 - chapter title - A Paradox for a pair of docs.

page 43 - chapter title - Crimes and Mr. Meaner.

and more chapter titles are song titles but just a bit off. Again, this will be for the adults.

Of course, the kids are the same rambunctious, let's get into trouble, normal type kids. It's a shame there aren't any good kind of adults, like me, after all I do wear a perfume called fart kitten.

Hey, Dav Pilkey, could I be a cool adult in one of your books?
