Mean Mr. Krupp, their principal, videotapes George and Harold setting up their stunts and threatens to expose them.

Later, Pilkey includes several pages of flip-o-ramas that animate the action. The simple black-and-white illustrations on every page furnish comic-strip appeal. The cover features Captain Underpants, resplendent in white briefs, on top of a tall building. This book will fly off the shelves.
