Summary
Summary
Alien lunch ladies attack in the third book in this #1 New York Times bestselling series by Dav Pilkey, the author and illustrator of Dog Man!George and Harold have played a trick or two on nearly everyone at Jerome Horwitz Elementary. When their latest prank causes the school's cranky cafeteria ladies to quit, Mr. Krupp hires a trio of unusual replacements -- who happen to look an awful lot like aliens! Will that curtain-caped crusader, Captain Underpants, save the day once more? Or will those outer-space cafeteria ladies have him for lunch?
Author Notes
When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.
In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, World War Won , which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy (1996).
In 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby . It was both a USA Today and New York Times bestseller. He has published more than seventy books for children, including the bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club graphic novels.
Dav's stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the triumph of the good-hearted.
When he is not making books for kids, Dav loves to kayak with his wife in the Pacific Northwest.

Horn Book Review
Color by Jose Garibaldi. In this installment in the popular series--"now in full color"--space aliens plot to take over the world. They begin by getting jobs as lunchroom ladies at Horwitz Elementary. Enter Captain Underpants (Principal Krupp), who, assisted by young cut-ups George and Harold, saves the day. This colorized version is admirably visually restrained (though hardly an inch of blank space remains). (c) Copyright 2016. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
