Our Review

This fourth installment in the wildly popular series continues the hilarious adventures of fourth-grade pranksters George and Harold, whose latest classroom antics drive their science teacher to quit. Their clueless principal, Mr. Krupp, hires a replacement with the unforgettable name of Professor Pippy P. Poopypants, a moniker that is practically an engraved invitation for the boys' signature brand of mischief. The book is packed with the author's trademark comic-style illustrations, flip-o-ramas, and a plot that gleefully celebrates the chaos of elementary school life.

What truly distinguishes this chapter book is its masterful understanding of what makes reluctant readers laugh and turn the page, blending potty humor with a surprisingly clever narrative. Children who thrive on visual gags and over-the-top silliness will be utterly delighted, while the accessible text and fast-paced storytelling provide a major confidence boost for those building independent reading skills. It’s a surefire recipe for giggles and a genuine celebration of imaginative, if mischievous, friendship.
