Description

This book provides basic information about Dav Pilkey, the creator of the Captain Underpants books.

Quick Summary

If you've ever laughed at Captain Underpants, this quick read shows how Dav Pilkey went from doodling in class to creating that goofy superhero. It's packed with bite-size facts about his childhood, his love of dogs, and how his silly ideas turned into Dog Man, with a few of his early sketches thrown in. The ATOS level 3.9 makes it perfect for kids reading at a third-grade level, and the short 800-word length means it's a fast, fun pick for early readers who love comics. There's nothing scary here just goofy humor and bright cartoon pictures so parents can hand it to younger kids without worry. If you enjoy this, you'll probably want to jump into the Dog Man series, which keeps the same wacky spirit.
