Scholastic Inc.. Very Good. 5.75 x 0.75 x 8.75 inches. Hardcover. 2013. 224 pages. <br>Laugh out loud with Captain Underpants, the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Dav Pilkey, the creator of Do g Man! When we last saw our heroes, George and Harold, they had been turned into evil zombie nerds doomed to roam a devastated, p ostapocalyptic planet for all eternity. But why, you might ask, d idn't the amazing Captain Underpants save the boys from this frig htening fate? Because Tippy Tinkletrousers and his time-traveling hijinks prevented George and Harold from creating Captain Underp ants in the first place! Now, having changed the course of human history forever, they'll have to figure out a way to CHANGE IT BA CK! Editorial Reviews From Booklist Picking up where Captain Un derpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers (2012) left off, this legendary tome sends Tippy back in time again to counteract his earlier mistakes. So now there are two Tippys. Ski p back to the now-redeemed present, in which Harold and George op t to save their pterodactyl pet by using the Purple Potty to jet back 65 million years. It's complicated, but pretty soon there ar e three Tippys of varying size in pursuit of our two heroes--plus Cap'n U--who invent cave painting (cave comics, to be exact) to galvanize cavemen for an impromptu army. Pilkey is kind enough to reveal what truly killed the dinosaurs, what began the Ice Age, and, oh yeah, how the universe was created. Everything you would expect from an Underpants book is firmly (spastically may be a be tter word) in place: a giddy, senseless plot; an invigorating ant iestablishment streak; and Flip-o-Rama megaviolence. The big surp rise: finding out the grim fate that awaits Harold and George in the future. Not as big of a surprise: volume 11 is coming soon. H IGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Really?
