Dav Pilkey’s wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including:

Full colour pages throughout.

Our November 2020 Ages 5-6 Book of the Month

My Book of the Month pick for 5+ for November is the eighth instalment in the Dog Man series, Fetch-22, now available in paperback. Dog Man is currently our bestselling series, so we know kids love these books!

Dog Man has the magic ingredients: it’s hugely accessible (with a highly-illustrated, graphic style that offers plenty of prompts to help the reader along); it offers enough stretch to test those reading muscles for 5-year-olds, but also makes for a really satisfying book for older kids. But more than that, I challenge any young reader to resist the laugh-out-loud humour and reading experts agree that kids actively search out FUNNY books for themselves. Plus stats show that kids are five times more likely to finish a book that they have chosen, so it’s the perfect Christmas treat.

Written by children’s firm favourite Dav Pilkey, who is the author and illustrator of the worldwide bestselling Captain Underpants series, the Dog Man series as a whole explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence and the importance of being true to one’s self. Let Dog Man unleash the reader in kids with these great crime-fighting capers!

And if your child is a lover of Dog Man, don’t miss Dav’s next NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES, Cat Kid Comic Club – coming 3rd December. Pre-order now!

Dav Pilkey

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.
