About Dog Man creator Dav Pilkey
As a child, Dav Pilkey was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hall every single day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories, so he spent his time creating his own original comic books. In the second grade, Dav created a comic book about a superhero named Captain Underpants. His teacher ripped it up and told him he couldn’t spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
Dav has gone on to create books for children worldwide and his latest creation, Dog Man has more than 30 million copies in print.
