Author

Dav Pilkey When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books—the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. Launched in 2016 to critical acclaim, his Dog Man series has more than 60 million copies in print to date and translated in 47 languages. Cat Kid Comic Club, a spin-off of Dog Man, is a pioneering graphic novel series that introduces kids to the art of comic making, encouraging them to unleash their own creativity and imagination, as they see the progress, mistakes, and improvements that come with practice and persistence. Dav Pilkey has created over 75 books for children and was awarded a Caldecott Honor for his picture book The Paperboy. The publication of Dog Man: Big Jim Begins (December 3, 2024) will mark 38 years of Dav writing and illustrating acclaimed and bestselling books for children. Dav's stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the triumph of the good-hearted. A movie adaptation of Dog Man from DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures is coming to theaters worldwide in January 2025.
