Hello I am Dav Pilkey. I was born on March 4, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio. When I was in ellementary my teachers //hated// my sense of humor. Another thing they especially didnt like were my comics. Do you know which one they hated the most? Captain Underpants which is now one of my most famous book series. Since I got into so much trouble at school my teacher moved a desk outside of the classroom and in that hallway I made very funny drawings, comics and stories.

When I was in high school it was horrible so I dont get the high part. The teachers werent any help, and neither was the principal. The only teacher that ever appreciated my artistic talents was my college writing teacher. One day while I was making up stories in my journal my teacher noticed I wasnt paying attention and she grabbed my journal. When she was finished reading she was actually laughing. She told me I should write childrens books. I decided to enter one of my schools contests. What we had to do in the contest was write a book and the winner would get their book published. Guess what, I won the contest!!!! I took a plane to Kansas City and I met the publisher. It was so hard not to go crazy from all the excitement. After I got World War Won published I moved back to Kent, Ohio.

In 1990 I dreamt that I had to move to Oregon so three years later I moved there. In 1999 I moved to a small island in Washington D.C. Me and Little Dog did everything together. We took long walks on the beach and sometimes we went kayaking together, but our favorite thing to do was to walk to the islands local sushi restaurant and eat there. I ate vegetarion sushi rolls while little dog ate a chicken dinner prepared especially for her by the restraunts chef Sayuri. I was the only person on the whole island that had permission to bring their dog to eat there. After a few years in 2005 I married Sayuri under a full moon at the beach.

Since then I've been working on making funny books for all kids to read. You know when I was making comics in that school hallway I never thought I would be making them for a living, and before I used to get in trouble for being a class clown and making people laugh. But now I get payed for it. My life has been great ,and I dont think I would'nt change a thing. I hope all you kids like my books even though some teachers dont approve of them. You know almost every day I get comics from kids and they all have the same feel of when I was making comics in the hallway. If a crazy,hyperactivenuts boy like me could turn out like this then ther is hope for every kid.
