5 chocolate chip cookies (it's a pretty funny book).

Cover Love: I liked the cover because it sort of shows you what will happen in the book. There are future things and past things on there.

Why Max Wanted To Read This: Because I liked the Captain Underpants books and when I found out Dav Pilkey wrote a new book I really wanted to read it. Here's the synopsis from Good Reads:
Here's a graphic novel that any young cave-boy or -girl enjoy. Ook and Glu are two typical cave-boys residing in Caveland, Ohio in 500,001 B.C. All that changes abruptly when the plucky pair slip through a time portal to 2222 A.D., where things seem to be even more brutish than the world that they left. Under the tutelage of martial arts expert Master Wong, they master the Kung Fu arts that will help them to establish a more peaceful old-new world order.

Max Kept Reading It Because: It started out with a little bit of humor that caught my attention so I wanted to keep reading it.

What Max Liked (& Didn't):
I liked how funny it was.
I liked how it looked like it was written by a kid.
I wasn't at all bothered by the misspelled words.
If I could be Ook (rhymes with Duke) or Gluk (rhymes with Duck) I would be Gluk.
In some parts I laughed out loud!

To Sum Up: It was original because it had humor and future and past and it made me laugh.

Book sent from Big Honcho Media (thanks Chelsey!)

Jana's quick review:
If you have a boy in your house, chance are they have read a Captain Underpants books. It is easy to get snobby about those books because they are kind of dumb and there are misspelled words. However, if you ever have a boy that has a hard time getting into any books until they pick up a Captain Underpants book you will discover that you LOVE Dav Pilkey and his crazy books!
