The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung Fu Cavemen from the Future by Dav Pilkey
4.0
Ook and Gluk are cavemen in the year 500,001 BC. When an evil corporation from the year 2222 AD shows up and starts pillaging their resources and enslaving the cavepeople, Ook and Gluk head into the future to save the day. It's a madcap action-adventure comic book with tons of potty humor. Written by Dav Pilkey as if it had been written by 2 fourth-grade boys, the comic is rife with misspellings and chock full of fun. I wouldn't be surprised if it inspires young readers to create their own comics.
Okay, I admit that I had the knee-jerk grownup reaction when I first opened this book: "Ugh, all the words are misspelled! When does the REAL book begin?"
Yeah, and then I let go of that and just had a monstrously fun reading experience. It's books like this that turn kids ON to reading. This will be a super choice for fans of Captain Underpants and silly, funny books.
