Product description

Professor Pippy P. (Pee-Pee) Poopypants is a brilliant scientist who wants to change the world for good – but his ridiculous name means no-one takes his fantastic inventions seriously. And when the kids at Jerome Horwitz Elementary laugh at his name too, poor Professor Poopypants SNAPS! Now crazy Professor Poopypants is on the rampage! He is armed with fiendish inventions Shrinky-Pig 2000 and the terrible Gerbil Jogger 2000 – and he’s ready to use them! Only Captain Underpants can stop Professor Poopypants from shrinking the world to the size of a pair of pre-shrunk pants – and save its people from a fate even worse than shrinkage: being given a terrible toilety name like Fluffy Toiletnose, Poopsie Chucklebutt and Chim-Chim Diaperbrains.

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.
