Cat Kid Comic Club #1

A pioneering new graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey, the author and illustrator of the internationally bestselling Dog Man and Captain Underpants series.

In Cat Kid Comic Club, Li'l Petey, Flippy, and Molly introduce twenty-one rambunctious, funny, and talented baby frogs to the art of comic making. As the story unwinds with mishaps and hilarity, readers get to see the progress, mistakes, and improvements that come with practice and persistence.

Squid Kid and Katydid, Baby Frog Squad, Monster Cheese Sandwich, and Birds Flowers Trees: A Haiku Photo Comic are just some of the mini-comics that are included as stories-within-the-story, each done in a different style, utilizing humor and drama, prose and poetry, illustrated in different media including acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, felt-tip markers, clay, hand-made cardboard sculptures, photographs, pipe cleaners, construction paper collages, and cookies.

Readers of all ages will be inspired to dream up their own stories and unleash their own creativity as they dive into this new graphic novel adventure from Dav Pilkey and his heartfelt, humorous, and amazing cast of characters in the Cat Kid Comic Club.

Enfant, DAV PILKEY a reçu un diagnostic de déficit de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) et de dyslexie. Dav dérangeait tellement en classe que ses enseignant·es le faisaient asseoir dans le corridor tous les jours. Heureusement, Dav aimait dessiner et inventer des histoires. Il passait son temps dans le corridor à créer ses propres BD : les toutes premières aventures de Super Chien et celles du capitaine Bobette. En deuxième année, son enseignante a déchiré une de ses BD et lui a dit qu’il ne pourrait pas passer le reste de sa vie à faire des livres loufoques. Heureusement, Dav n’écoutait pas beaucoup.
