Sull'autore
Dav Pilkey
DAV PILKEY est un auteur reconnu et un illustrateur lauréat du prix Caldecott. Il a commencé à écrire des livres alors qu’il était encore au primaire et qu'il se faisait souvent punir pour ses farces. Ses enseignants n’appréciaient pas du tout ses bandes dessinées. C’est en deuxième année qu’il a inventé son personnage le plus célèbre : le capitaine Bobette. L’un de ses enseignants lui a dit un jour : « Tu ferais mieux de commencer à prendre les choses un peu plus sérieusement, mon garçon, parce que tu ne pourras pas passer le restant de tes jours à écrire des livres farfelus. » Heureusement pour nous, il n’a pas écouté ses enseignants. En plus de créer Les aventures du capitaine Bobette, il a écrit de nombreux autres livres aussi passionnants les uns que les autres qui ne manquent pas de dérider les jeunes moins portés sur la lecture. DAV PILKEY has written and illustrated several popular award-winning books for children. The Adventures of Captain Underpants (Les aventures du Capitaine Bobette), which has sold more than one million copies in print, was an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists and a Publishers Weekly "Cuffie" Award winner for the Funniest Book of the Year. He is the creator of the Cat Kid Comic Club (Mini Chat et son club BD) and Dog Man (Super Chien) series. Dav Pilkey lives in the Pacific Northwest.
