Big Dog and Little Dog Wearing Sweaters (Green Light Readers: Level 1)

by Dav Pilkey (Author)

Big Dog and Little Dog Wearing Sweaters (Green Light Readers: Level 1)

Little Dog has a sweater, but what about Big Dog? After a quick search in the bedroom (and making a bit of a mess), Big Dog finds the perfect one. But how will he put it on? Good thing he has Little Dog to help!

With deceptively simple text, graphic illustrations, and tongue-in-cheek humor, Captain Underpants creator Dav Pilkey brings the joys of childhood friendships to life in his tales of two lovable dog pals. This Green Light Reader will help young children build basic reading skills, while also tickling their funny bones.

Parents and kids looking for skill-building activities will find a bonus activity section at the back of the book that includes a word search, story-sequencing activity, a maze, and more!

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 write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, World War Won, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy (1996).

In 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby. It was both a USA Today and New York Times bestseller. Since then, he has published more than a dozen full-length graphic novels for kids, including the bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club series.

Dav's stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

When he is not making books for kids, Dav loves to kayak with his wife in the Pacific Northwest.
