Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants – Dav Pilkey

This book starts out with a Professor named Pippy P. (pee-pee) Poopypants. He is a genius but has a silly name, and no one respects him. He gets a job at George and Harold’s school as a science teacher but the kids laugh at him. He gets very angry and creates 3 things: The Gerbil Jogger 2000, the Goosy Grow 4000, and the Shrinky Pig 2000. He uses those machines to get some respect and revenge on all the people that made fun of him. He also creates the name change-o-chart 2000. So everybody has a silly funny name like him. Can George, Harold, and the Mighty Captain Underpants stop Professor Pippy P. Poopypants? Find out by reading this book. I think this book would appeal to mostly boys because it has a lot of potty humor.

The Tales of Beedle The Bard-J.K Rowling

I read a book called The Tales of Beedle The Bard and it was used in the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.  In this book there are five stories called, The Wizard and The Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Warlock’s Hairy Heart, Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump, and The Tale of the Three Brothers.  These stories also have comments by Albus Dumbledore.  The Warlock’s Hairy Heart is my least favorite story because it is very gruesome when a warlock locks away his heart after his friends act foolishly when picking a wife.  But, after he finds a beautiful women to love he takes his heart, which has become hairy, until he finds out that his heart has changed.  But, by the time he takes his heart out, it is too late.  He then opens her chest and takes out her scarlet heart vowing to exchange it for his own, but instead they both lie dead upon each others bodies.  If you aren’t into that kind of story, there are more stories that have happy endings, such as The Fountain of Fair Fortune, where the gates finally open letting only the people that it claims worthy.  The gates opened to three young women and a knight, to the Fountain of Fair Fortune.  In order to reach their goal, they have to overcome many obstacles, and on the way they realize that they have everything that they need and the one who needs the Fountain of Fair Fortunt the most is the knight, who has no magical power.  This is a great book that I would recomend for boys and girls 10+, who like adventurous stories.
