It can also be used as a game: find all the typos made by George and Harold in this book. While this could be a matter of concern for younger children, I feel that the correct target age group (8+) will be able to realise where the errors lie and find the goof-ups funnier. So you'll see a lot of spelling mistakes in the dialogues, courtesy the 'authors' being school going kiddos. This book is supposed to have been written by George and Harold, two creative little kids who are the protagonists of the Captain Underpants series. His characters do the silliest things, say the funniest stuff, and get away with the stupidest actions. It's very light-hearted, and I think I can see why kids love Dav Pilkey. So yeah, there's cave men, dinosaurs, time travel, corporate greed, fights for justice, village chiefs, company head honchos, robots, Kung Fu. They decide to learn Kung Fu and fight him back.

Simple version: Ook and Gluk are two friends whose village is lorded over and plundered by a corporate fiend.

It is meant for those who approach life with humour, who believe that children can differentiate between good and bad with the help of their guardians, and who understand why children’s fiction needn’t always be moralising. But I’m going to add my disclaimer right at the start: if you get offended at portrayals of mischievous kids spewing out bad words and pranking others, stay away from this book. This was my very first Dav Pilkey book and the experience was quite entertaining. Thankfully, I have my own copy because I have two crazzzyyyy Dav Pilkey fans in my house. This book was nowhere on my radar until Scholastic decided to stop publishing it and revoke the unsold/library copies.
