Hey! Who Stole the Toilet? by Nancy E. Krulik is the eighth of the George Brown, Class Clown series, and hopefully the only one I'll have to read (or listen to, as I was offered an audio book through the LibraryThing early readers program). George Brown is apparently cursed with evil burps which get him in trouble. This time they might meddle with his first over night camping trip.

George besides being plagued by nonsensical evil burps (maybe a slight of hand referral for ADHD?), he also has a female stalker. She's found a way to join the scouting troop so that she can go on the first camping trip which she imagines will be an incredibly romantic thing. Really? What second or third grader thinks about romance?

I don't know what these characters are like in print but the audio performance tries to give unique voices to each character. The voice given to the already annoying girl is enough to make paint peel. I really had to restrain myself from skipping through any scene where she has more than a couple of lines of dialog.

Hey! Who Stole the Toilet? reminds me of the books my second grade teacher would read to us. If we had been good in class before story time, we got a chance to hold her pet rosy boa snake. The snake petting was usually the highlight of story time as I wasn't a fan to these sort chapter books with ridiculous, oft times gross-out situations. Or they featured kids believing absolutely stupid crap. Like Flora in Flora & Ulysses, I've always been a bit of a cynic). For kids who like How to Eat Fried Worms, Freckle Juice, or similar will probably like the George Brown series too. ( )

This book arrived on two CDs, and provided a great deal of entertainment in the car during a lengthy drive last week. The target audience is upper elementary, but our teenager enjoyed it immensely as well.

It is funny, well written, and very vivid. The narrator "voiced" the different characters, which added depth and helped us to readily identify who was speaking.

Highly recommended for any families with 3-5 graders in the house! ( )

George and his friends are super excited about the camping trip they're going on with the Beaver Scouts near the Bahka Wahka Ocka River. One thing that George is worried about, though, is his magic burp, which seems to cause a lot of chaos whenever he releases it.

Turns out, though, that George has a lot more to worry about than just the burp...there's clueless Troop Leader Buttonwood, who is nearly inept in just about everything, and bully Louie and his cronies, Max and Mike, who can make life miserable and the Triple F (ferocious furry frog), the monster of myth who inhabits the campground. But, the most annoying part is the two new members of the troop, Sage and Julianna....ahh! Girls!

George Brown, Class Clown: Hey! Who Stole the Toilet? will have early readers howling with lots of potty humor! A great introduction for future fans of Captain Underpants and Big Nate and the ilk.

Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers, Nancy Krulik, and Recorded Books for this copy. (less) ( )

A fun book for young kids, probably around 1st or 2nd grade - a fun character with real life issues and language - Fun for boys and girls- the narration was very good.

This audio book is exactly what the cover and the title loudly proclaim; this is a pie-in-your-face, body noises boy book. If you liked Captain Underpants.... ( )
