Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants: Color Edition (Captain Underpants #4) (Color Edition)

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.

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.
