Description-
The Cat Kid Comic Club learns to collaborate in this creative, funny, and insightful graphic novel by Dav Pilkey, the author and illustrator of Dog Man.
Excitement and imagination run wild as Naomi, Melvin, Poppy, Gilbert, Curly, and their siblings get back to making comics with originality and laughter. But wait — have they cleaned their rooms yet?!
After their chores, the rambunctious group presents even more amazing mini-comics: a thrilling ride in "Chubbs McSpiderbutt," an action-packed romp in "Frogzilla," reflective haikus in "In the Autumn Pond," a candy-coated mystery in "Mallo Cop," and much, much more. By working together, the baby frogs discover that small things can have a huge impact.
In this innovative graphic novel series, award-winning author and illustrator Dav Pilkey employs a variety of techniques — including origami, acrylic paints, colored pencils, photography, collage, gouache, watercolors, and more — to capture the creative and joyful spirit of collaboration. The variety of art styles, paired with Pilkey's trademark storytelling and humor, inspires imagination and innovation for readers of all ages.
About the Author-
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.
Reviews-
Starred review from January 1, 2023 His 21 froglets' messy bedrooms have caused harried papa Flippy the fish to cancel today's Cat Kid Comic Club meeting. "It's the WORST DAY of ALL TIME!" That doesn't stop the fun in this fourth entry in Pilkey's nth-degree zany series. Breathless reporter Sarah Hatoff is on hand to admire Wendy and Raine's wholly fictitious biography of their father; Summer and Starla's autumnally themed haiku-and-photographs sequence; Gilbert and Curly's Frogzilla comic; and more. These minicomics are, per established pattern, interspersed with scenes of the froglets explaining their processes, cleaning (creatively), and, in the case of self-appointed director and agent Melvin and Naomi (respectively), trying to find their better selves. The volume's theme allows readers to contemplate both creative collaboration and sweet Poppy's gentle demonstrations of how small acts can have great impacts. As before, Pilkey deftly balances quiet life lessons with sheer loopiness for a winning, kid-friendly romp. The formula allows him to showcase solid technical advice and different modes of storytelling within a frame that advances a family story--and he makes it look easy. Human characters are rare; Hatoff presents White and the cameraman, Black, and human comics characters are depicted as racially diverse. Wise, funny, and whiplash-inducing: Pilkey delivers again.
