Meet Captain Underpants! His True Identity Is SO Secret, Even HE Doesn't Know Who He Is! Young readers will laugh out loud at this action-packed, easy-to-read chapter book by award-winning author and Caldecott Honor illustrator Dav Pilkey. Introducting FLIP-O-RAMA, a wonderfully silly and fun-filled illustration technique that allows readers to animate the action.

George and Harold are usually responsible kids... whenever anything bad happens, George and Harold are usually responsible! And it looks like they're up to their old tricks again! First, they ruined the school's science fair with a series of silly pranks. Then, they accidentally created an army of evil, vicious, talking toilets, intent on taking over the world. Who will stop the carnivorous commodes?!!!? This looks like a job for Captain Underpants!

Many moons ago, the magic of Calvin and Hobbes first appeared on the funny pages and the world was introduced to a wondrous pair of friends \-\- a boy and his tiger, who brought new life to the comics page. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of this distinguished partnership, Bill Watterson prepared this special book, sharing his thoughts on cartooning and creating Calvin and Hobbes, illustrated throughout with favorite black\-and\-white and color cartoons.

Zounds! Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, the ferocious tiger Hobbes, and the rest of Calvin's riotous imagination are all included in The Days Are Just Packed. Calvin, the self\-proclaimed "Boy of Destiny," continues to save the universe with his alter egos, Spaceman Spiff and Stupendous Man, at least until Miss Wormwood or his mother bring him back to reality. Susie, Calvin's nemesis and love interest, remains Calvin's favorite target. And when he's not recovering from a ferocious tiger attack, Calvin creates hideous snowmen, plays a moral cat\-and\-mouse game with Santa, conducts his infamous Dad polls, and combats the monsters under his bed.

They're back: Calvin, the six\-year\-old dirty tricksmeister and master of indignation and his warm, cuddly philosopher sidekick, Hobbes. A tiger whose idea of adventure is to lie on his back by the fire and have his stomach rubbed. In six short years this unlikely duo has captured the hearts, the minds, and, most of all, the funny bones of America. They are the most phenomenal success story in syndication \- and publishing \- history. In only six years, they appear in more than 2,100 newspapers worldwide, and Calvin and Hobbes wins as many readership polls as Calvin has excesses. All seven of Bill Watterson's collections have sold a million copies within a year of publication. This treasury collection contains a never\-before\-published full\-color section, as well as the cartoons appearing in The Revenge of the Baby\-Sat and Scientific Progress Goes "Boink." All Sunday cartoons are presented full\-page and full\-color.

With the help of his faithful stuffed tiger companion and his alter egos\-\-Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, and Tracer Bullet\-\-Calvin continues to navigate the tricky waters of youth.
