Dav Pilkey

“Pilkey… has again fired an arrow of joy straight at the fevered childhood psyche of millions of readers.”

BOOKLIST

Dav Pilkey has written and illustrated numerous popular, award-winning books for children, including the hilarious Captain Underpants and Dog Man series; Dog Breath, winner of the California Young Reader Medal; and The Paperboy, a Caldecott Honor Book. Captain Underpants is now a major animated film.

The third book in the graphic series, Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties, the titular drooling police dog hero hasn’t always been a paws-itive addition to the police force. While he can muzzle miscreants, he tends to leave a slick of slobber in his wake! This time, Petey the cat’s dragged in a tiny bit of trouble–a double in the form of a super-cute kitten. Dog Man will have to work twice as hard to bust these furballs and remain top dog!

Dav’s presentation includes a live drawing demo, prizes, giveaways, photo-ops with Captain Underpants and Dog Man, and of course, a book signing.

“Readers (of any age) will be giggling from start to finish.”
