Dav Pilkey (author and illustrator) of the series "Captain Underpants" and the graphic novels "Dog Man" are some of the most popular books in our school library. Over the next few weeks, whilst we stay at home, Dav Pikey is creating a new page full of fun where you can read extracts from his books, learn how to draw his book characters, draw and write an ending to one of his graphic novels. You can also watch Dav draw and paint his characters, and explain the inspiration for them. Click on the following link to find out more: Dav Pilkey at Home .
