Meet Dav Pilkey

“I have an agenda: I'm secretly trying to inspire kids to create their own stories and comics, and I don't want them to feel stifled by ‘perfectionism.’”

“I think my self-esteem as a child might have been helped if I had known some AD/HD success stories.”

Will Fart Fiction Get Boys to Read? (Washington Times)

“Grossology shouldn’t be underestimated in boyland. Scholastic’s poop-fiction star, Dav Pilkey, and his ‘Captain Underpants’ graphic series remains immensely popular.”

If Captain Underpants Gets the Kids Reading, What the Heck (St. Paul Pioneer Press)

“Kids love these books; they sell by the millions...Besides, any book that teaches a 5 year old the meaning of ‘perilous’ and ‘preposterous’ is OK by me.”

Building Bookworms (Tahlequah Daily Press)

“From 'The Adventures of Captain Underpants' to ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,’ books aimed at young readers are drawing in countless fans who can’t wait for the next edition to hit the shelves.”

Critics Are Raving About Dav Pilkey

My First Superhero, Sort Of (The New York Times)

“Children will like…the second volume’s steadfast devotion to bathroom humor; multiple ‘Flip-o-Ramas’ simulating animation in the style of old-timey flipbooks; the return of the irrepressible hero, Super Diaper Baby…Grown-ups will like…children laughing as they dive in and page through this old-fashioned thing called a book.”
