Silly Stories

This book has heaps of short and silly stories and there are also poems. My favourite story is called The Singing Bank Robber, it is about a man who is coming home from work and his motorbike brakes down. Then he gets a stone in his shoe and it is raining so he had to limp home but he did not realise that he was been watched by 2 policemen. They thought he was a robber because he was carrying a cash bag. They got mistaken and relieved the person. They had a leak in the house. There are many more stories in this book.

This book was written by many authors.

I would give this book a 7.9/10

Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets


There were two boys called George and Harold. They get into trouble alot. They have a mean principal called Mr. Krupp. They like to make comic books about their favourite hero Captain Underpants. They hypnotized Mr. Krupp and made him Captain Underpants. He obeyed. George and Harold accidentally used the Patsy 2000 (an invention by Melvin Sneedly) and the Patsy 2000 makes two dimensional pictures into three dimensional objects. George and Harold put down their comic and the toilets on the front cover came to life. They were fighting toilets and the toilets ate up all the teachers. Harold and George get some of the cafeteria food and put it in the toilets mouth. Captain Underpants defeats the toilets and the teachers were alive. Then Captain Underpants had to defeat the Turbo Toilet 2000. The Turbo Toilet 2000 gobbled up Captain Underpants but George and Harold made a character using the Patsy 2000 that could defeat the Turbo Toilet 2000. It did. They had saved the day.

Dirty Bertie Pants!


There is a boy and his name is Bertie and he is very dirty. One time he challenged Know-All Nick to a dress-off. Unfortunately Bertie lost the challenge and had to go to school in his underpants!!!! How embarrassing!!!! Later on in the story, Bertie thought of a way to wear his underpants to school, simple, just wear his underpants under his pants!!!! He made Know-All Nick very angry. He also has a pirate party for his birthday but Richy Rich had a birthday on the same day. So his dog went to the pool and pooped in the pool and the kids hopped out of the pool straight away. Then Bertie said that he had real chocolate coins. Everyone went to his party.

Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants


There was a professor and his name was Professor Pippy Peepee Poopypants and he is an inventor. One time he invented a chart with all the weird names like Fluffy and Cheese ball. First you work out what your first letter of your name is and then you work out the first letter of your last name. Finally you work out your last letter of your last name and then that is your name. Professor Poopypants gets mad and tries to take over the world by shrinking the school.
Later on in the book, Captain Underpants makes the school its normal size and they defeat Professor Poopypants and save the world. I recommend this book.

I like the Brazilian goal when Alberto scored.
