The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung Fu Cavemen from the Future 
There's stupid...and then there's stupid that works. Dav Pilkey* is a master of the second category. I read Captain Underpants back in the day (3rd grade, 4th grade, something like that)and loved it, so I tried out this spin-off book. The back of my mind picked up on the old cliches from that series (the maimed signs, "before we tell you that story, we have to tell you this story") and, while the artistic side of me was sad he wasn't more creative, it was like snuggling a much-loved teddy bear
I don't care if I sound like an old, O.C.D., English teacher and book snob; because I am. While I could go off on a rant about this...I don't approve of nine year olds shouting SUCKAAASSSS! and I think the constant over-played misspellings just encourages my kids to write like fools...I'll let it go. One word says it best: DUMB. On that note...any goofy little boy will love it.

Christmas present for my little caveman. Unlike Captain Underpants and Ricky Ricotta and His MIghty Robot, this Dav Pilkey creation is entirely in graphic novel form. For us old fogies, that means it's a long comic book. One thing I noticed right away is the intentional misspellings that are supposed to make the book feel like two little boys wrote it. Well, it bothered me a little, and my Asperger's son some too. But not enough to not buy the book! We're just so happy Dav Pilkey wrote something
In this hilarious graphic novel, Ook and Gluk are two cavemen who are sent to the future where they learn Kungfu, and set out to stop the evil Goppernopper from taking over the world and enslaving all of the people.Ages 4-9Many readers will enjoy the graphic novel format of this book. It has black and white illustrations that are funny and include dinosaurs, caveman, laser guns, and kungfu; a long list that of things that kids 4-9 love! Furthermore, it is full of bathroom humor that all kids
This book is a preaty good boock because it talks about the future in which we are today
As grownup and former English teacher, I should be appalled by this latest Dav Pilkey atrocity, but...Me like! Me give to boys in liberry. They laff to! (Excuse me while I practice my caveman language, aka Cavemonics.)As with many a good cartoon work, this one has many layers, many which will only be understood and appreciated by the adult readers who give it a fair shot.

Tra-la-laaa! The wait is over! Dav Pilkey--ahem--we mean, George Beard and Harold Hutchins, the bestselling authors of THE ADVENTURES OF SUPER DIAPER BABY, are back with their second graphic novel! Meet Ook and Gluk, the stars of this sensationally silly graphic novel from the creators of Captain Underpants! It's 500,001 BC, and Ook and Gluk's hometown of Caveland, Ohio, is under attack by an evil corporation from the future. When Ook, Gluk, and their little dinosaur pal Lily are pulled through a time portal to 2222, they discover a future world that's even more devastated than their own. Luckily, they find a friend in Master Wong, a martial arts instructor who trains them in the ways of kung fu. Now all they have to do is travel back in time 502,223 years and save the day!Declare Books Conducive To The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung Fu Cavemen from the Future
