Product description

The perfect present for Dog Man fans – starring some of your favourite characters from the series! Cat Kid Comic Club is back in session in this groundbreaking graphic novel narrative by Dav Pilkey, the worldwide bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator of Dog Man. Flippy, Molly, Li’l Petey, and twenty-one baby frogs each have something to say. Naomi and Melvin don’t see eye to eye and Poppy perceives the world differently than her siblings. Will the baby frogs figure out how to work together and appreciate one another’s point of view – both inside and outside the classroom? The shenanigans are nonstop and the baby frogs’ minicomics are funny and full of heart.

Creating stories within a story, author and illustrator Dav Pilkey uses a variety of techniques – including acrylic paints, coloured pencils, Japanese calligraphy, photography, collage, gouache, watercolours, and much more – to portray each frog’s perspective. The kaleidoscope of art styles, paired with Pilkey’s trademark storytelling and humour, fosters creativity, collaboration, independence, and empathy. Readers of all ages will relish this joyful graphic novel adventure.

Our January 2022 Ages 7-8 Book of the Month

My Book of the Month for kids aged 7 and over this January is Sleepover Takeover. Dorky Otis wakes up the morning after a birthday sleepover to carnage – there’s a donkey drinking at the chocolate fountain, traffic cones dotted around the floor, a huge inflatable helium sausage looms above, a suitcase of bratwurst on the floor and even one of the other kids has a tattoo! To make matters worse – no one can remember what happened and Otis is the prime suspect for being the trouble maker! He and Rocco work together retracing their steps to clear his name and hide the mess from Rocco’s mum – and to solve the mystery of what on earth happened!

This is the new book from award-winning-author for funny books for kids, Simon James Green, whose previous book Life of Riley: Beginner’s Luck was shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award.

Full of hilarious illustrations throughout by Aleksei Bitskoff to keep reluctant readers entertained. It has all the ingredients for a new favourite book – mystery, adventure, friendship and hilarity. Perfect for fans of Danny Wallace, Jeff Kinney and David Baddiel.

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.
