Did you know Dav was the class clown and was often sent to sit in the hallway, where he would spend his time drawing and creating cartoon stories?

Appeals to 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grades
George Beard and Harold Hutchins admit that they are not the smartest kids at school but they are definitely the most mischievous. They change a sign to read “Please wash your hands in the toilet,” which one kid does. In their How-to demonstration they show how to make ‘squishies’ with ketchup packets. One teacher uses the trick on the Principal Krupp who thinks George and Harold did it. The book contains many illustrations done by Dav Pilkey himself. It is a quick read and gives lots of laughs, particularly for boys who may be reluctant readers.
*Some schools have banned this book because some students play out the pranks.
