Ook and Gluk are cavemen in the year 500,001 BC. When an evil corporation from the year 2222 AD shows up and starts pillaging their resources and enslaving the cavepeople, Ook and Gluk head into the future to save the day. It's a madcap action-adventure comic book with tons of potty humor. Written by Dav Pilkey as if it had been written by 2 fourth-grade boys, the comic is rife with misspellings and chock full of fun. I wouldn't be surprised if it inspires young readers to create their ownAs 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.
Similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Ook and Gluk has a lot of goofy pictures and entertaining dialogue. Ook and Gluk, two cavemen in 500,001 BC, find a time-traveler from the future thats coming back and trying to steal their natural resources. They travel to the future and learn kung-fu, fighting off the bad guys with ridiculous and humorous situations, saving the day. This book is an example of a graphic novel, written in a style like a comic book, containing various elements like panels and
i liked this book it is a bout two kids named ook and gluk they were left when they were babies and a man that had a karate dojo found them and raised them to be like karate masters i recommend this book to cristian
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.
I don't understand how people can disparage books that get kids reading. If the grammar and spelling aren't always correct, isn't that in character for Mssrs. Beard and Hutchins? Aren't young readers discerning enough to realize that? Furthermore, could it not even help them to distinguish bad syntax and orthographics from good? If the humor is low-brow, isn't that enticing to a certain audience (like me)?And haven't we gotten over the 1950s censorial and snooty view of comic books yet? Hey,
Miss 4 loved it - just like she loves Dog Man, Captain Underpants, and all Dav Pilkey's works. I actually quite liked some of the messaging - like about solving problems by using your mind.There's what I assume is a nod to Karate Kid (and other films of that ilk) with the kung fu training montage. I'm not sure if Asian readers would be offended by the stereotyping? I don't think it was his intent to offend, I think it's a perpetuation of an established media meme but that doesn't necessarily
