Dog Man and Cat Kid

这并非又一部简单的猫鼠闹剧。在热闹的表象下，它悄悄处理着一个让孩子和成年人都能共鸣的命题：当一个被贴上'邪恶'标签的人（无论是那只屡教不改的坏猫，还是某个'本性邪恶'的孩子）被人指责时，他该何去何从？书里没有让角色破罐破摔，而是借一句'你不必完美，只要足够好'，把自我接纳讲得柔软而有力。它甚至大胆地让孩子'学会打人'——不是为了暴力，而是为了在被欺负时守住边界。 Dav Pilkey的高明，在于他既不居高临下地说教，也不回避成长中的灰度：坏爸爸与好儿子、服从与友谊的区别、被操控时重新'成为自己'的那一刻。它适合那些愿意相信'不完美也值得被爱'的家庭，亲子共读时，孩子笑，大人也会心。

As a child, Dav Pilkey was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hall every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories, so he spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books. In the second grade, Dav Pilkey created a comic book about a superhero named Captain Underpants. His teacher ripped it up and told him he couldn’t spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener. Dav has gone on to create award-winning and bestselling books for children. His Captain Underpants series has more than 80 million copies in print worldwide and has been translated into more than 28 languages. In 2017, DreamWorks Animation brought the character to the silver screen in the feature film adaptation Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, and Netflix is now streaming The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants TV show. Dav’s latest creation, Dog Man, continues to be a #1 New York Times bestselling series with more than 23 million copies in print worldwide and translations available in more than 27 languages. Dav is also the creator of the Dragon series, the Dumb Bunnies series, Dog Breath, and The Paperboy, which is a Caldecott Honor Book. Dav lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.
