About the Author

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books - the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

    Quick delivery. Book was in brand new excellent condition as described. My 6-yr old daughter loves this book, and we are on our second reading. It's a bit crude in some ways but depending on your child's maturity level and your personal preference, it could be a fun read. A bit of cartoon violence, very kid friendly art, was not an issue for us. We will be continuing the series in prep for the upcoming movie.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Dog Man is exactly what you’d expect from the creator of Captain Underpants—goofy humor, over-the-top action, and a comic book style that kids love. It’s a great pick for reluctant readers because the mix of illustrations and simple dialogue makes it super engaging.

    That said, it’s not for everyone. The humor leans very silly (which is the point), and the grammar is intentionally off in some places, which may not sit well with parents looking for more polished reading. But for pure fun and getting kids excited about books? It works.
