Om forfatteren

Dav Pilkey was born on March 4th, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio. His father was a steel salesman, and his mother was the organist at a local church. In 1984, Pilkey attended Kent State University as an art major. One of Pilkey's freshman English professors complimented him on his creative writing skills, vis mere and encouraged him to write books, which launched him into his career. He found out about a contest for students who write and illustrate their own books, with the winners earning the prize of publication. Pilkey began creating his first book, "World War Won," and entered it in The National Written and Illustrated By...Awards Contest for Students. Pilkey won the contest and flew to Kansas City, Missouri to meet the editors and publishers at Landmark Editions, Inc. Soon after the publication of World War Won, Dav moved back to Kent, Ohio where he had gone to college. In 1997, Pilkey won the Caldecott Honor for his book "The Paperboy" but is perhaps better known for his "Captain Underpants" series, which he had created while still in elementary school. His title Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers made Publisher's Weekly best seller list for 2011. His title's, The Adventures of Captain Underpants and Dog Man Unleashed, made The New York Times Best Seller List. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

"Érase una vez un perro llamado Hally que vivía con la familia Tosis. Hally Tosis era un perro estupendo, pero tenía un grave problema. Tenía un aliento espantoso... Pero una noche ese aliento espantoso sirvió de mucho al tumbar a unos ladrones, y desde ese momento Hally se convirtió en el héroe de la familia". (Descripción editorial).

My 8-yo has adored this book since she was 6 and could read it independently in Spanish. And even though her Spanish skills weren't great, this was super easy for her to read.

The lovely illustrations and storyline make it a favorite!

This book would be good for primary or intermediate readers
This book is a story about a dog policeman that fights crime. The book is made up of many short stories
This book could be good for a free read book in the classroom. They are funny and children would enjoy the pictures, but there is not much value in the writing other than it being a fun book.
