CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS FIGHTS THE ECONOMY!!!

I'm really hurting...This economy has kicked me hard today, and yesterday, and last week! Hopefully that saying, "There's nowhere to go but UP from here" is true.

Sorry, folks...I had to get that off my chest. However, reading and literature lives on.

Today I would like to draw attention to a series of books geared towards elementary and middle school readers. It's called "Captain Underpants" by Dav Pilkey. While working in the library as a Media Assistant, (Trying to make ends meet), I came across this wonderful series.

This series is centered around two 4th graders, Harold and George, who have "accidentally" hypnotized their principal, Mr. Benny Krupp, to be "Captain Underpants". The story follows them while they make mischief and pull pranks on the entire student body and their administrators. For example, before an assembly, George and Harold create a super-sticky solution made from glue and orange juice and apply it to everyone's seat except their own, of course. At first, the entire auditorium explodes with laughter, but it abruptly stops when they realize the joke is on THEM. That's when Harold and George make a run for it!!!!!

These books are full of pranks, jokes, stunts, tricks, and fun! Before I knew it, I was half way through this novel within the first hour. I can't wait until tomorrow to finish reading "Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets". Be sure to pick up a copy for yourself and your children. It'll be loads of fun for the entire family!

Until then, it's back to fighting the economy's storm and STRONGLY SUPPORTING OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!
