Product description

From the creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants comes this fully-illustrated new hardback edition of Super Diaper Baby. George Beard and Harold Hutchins are two amazing kids. Not only did they create Captain Underpants, but they’ve saved the world five times! Now George and Harold bring you a superhero who’s faster than a speeding stroller, more powerful than diaper rash, and able to leap tall buildings without making poopy stinkers.

  • Meet Super Diaper Baby – the most powerful peewee to ever pack a punch.
  • This new paper-over-board edition includes a 16-page behind-the-scenes bonus section!
  • This superhero is sure to make kids laugh until drink comes out of their noses!

Praise for THE ADVENTURES OF SUPER DIAPER BABY “Pilkey’s latest is replete with misspellings, pleasingly bad puns and the ‘flip-o-rama’ feature that slips some rudimentary animation into these preposterously good-humored pages.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY”Children get a delicious thrill from reading forbidden and naughty things, and Pilkey has filled this niche for the emergent reader.”—KIRKUSS

Photo of 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.
