Through Pilkey's trademark absurdist humor, imaginative characters, and entertaining flip-o-ramas, readers will find depth in a very poignant backstory... A must buy for school libraries; kids will be clamoring for the continuation of Big Jim's story.

great book
I liked this book because there were different stages in the book which I liked and lots of new characters.
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.
Cuando Dav Pilkey era niño, le diagnosticaron TDAH y dislexia. Dav era tan disruptivo en clase que sus maestros lo hacían sentarse en el pasillo todos los días. Por suerte, a Dav le encantaba dibujar e inventar historias. Pasaba su tiempo en el pasillo creando sus propios cómics originales: las primeras aventuras de Hombre Perro y el Capitán Calzoncillos. En segundo grado, la maestra de Dav rompió sus cómics y le dijo que no podía pasar el resto de su vida haciendo libros tontos. Afortunadamente, Dav no era muy bueno escuchando.
