Dav Pilkey at Home

Dav Pilkey, the children’s author and illustrator behind award-winning and worldwide bestselling book series including Dog Man and Captain Underpants, is collaborating with the Library of Congress to serve children and families online during the coronavirus pandemic.

Dav Pilkey at Home will feature new video content created by Pilkey himself on Friday mornings at 8 a.m. ET.

Beginning April 1, fun and free activities will be available online including how-to-draw demonstrations, engaging read-a-louds and inspiring resources from the Library’s collections. Additional videos and content will be shared periodically throughout the week and will feature downloadable activities, conversations about books and creativity, and tips for kids and families to create their own characters and act out scenes from Pilkey’s Dog Man book series.

Simply click a story, then “play video” to hear, read, and see it come to life! This resource used to require your library card, but has currently been made free for all.
