Product description

From the creator of CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS, comes an out-of-this-world friendship adventure – now in full colour.

Mr Mosquito lives on Mercury, but he hates it there. The days are 800 degrees, and the heat melts his flip-flops, while the long nights are almost 300 degrees below zero! His toothpaste is always frozen. One day Mr. Mosquito looks through his telescope and sees all the happy mice living on planet Earth. With a powerful ray, he zaps his fingernail clippings and grows them into massive mutant mosquitoes. Then they climb aboard a spaceship to conquer Earth. Luckily for all of us, Ricky Ricotta and his giant Robot save the day-using lots of Flip-O-Rama action scenes and insect battles that children will love.

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.
