About the Author

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 the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS AND THE PERILOUS PLOT OF PROFESSOR POOPYPANTS: COLOR EDITIONProfessor Poopypants was running out of money, and there was no place left for him to turn. Then, one day, the professor walked into a New York coffee shop and picked up a newspaper. And like a message from heaven, Pippy P. Poopypants found his answer."THAT'S IT!" he cried. "I'll become an elementary school science teacher! I'll work really hard, and soon, people will come to respect me and see what a genius I am. Then I can introduce my great inventions to the world!"Pippy Poopypants was certain that the one place people wouldn't laugh at his name was at an elementary school. "Kids are so accepting and loving," he said. “You can always count on the sweetness and innocence of children!""Hello, boys and girls," said the professor a week later. “I'm going to be your new science teacher. My name is… Professor Pippy P. Poopypants."HA-HA-HA-HA!"Alright, settle down, boys and girls. Yes, yes, it's a funny name, I know, but let me explain how I got this name. Please, children, settle down. It's not that funny, let me assure you. Um… boys and girls… BOYS AND GIRLS! Please stop laughing!"
