A pioneering new graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey, the author and illustrator of the internationally bestselling Dog Man and Captain Underpants series.

Naomi, Melvin, Pedro, and Poppy are just a few of the twenty-one rambunctious, funny, and talented baby frogs who share their stories in the Cat Kid Comic Club. Can Li'l Petey, Molly, and Flippy help the students express themselves through comics? The adventures in class and on paper unwind with mishaps and hilarity as the creative baby frogs experience the mistakes and progress that come with practice and persistence.

"Squid Kid and Katydid," "Baby Frog Squad," "Monster Cheese Sandwich," "Birds Flowers Trees: A Haiku Photo Comic," and other mini-comics are featured as stories-within-the-story, each done in a different style, utilizing humor and drama, prose and poetry, illustrated in different media including acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, felt-tip markers, clay, hand-made cardboard sculptures, photographs, pipe cleaners, construction paper collages, and cookies.

This heartfelt, humorous, and thoughtful graphic novel by award-winning author and artist Dav Pilkey will have readers of all ages laughing and motivated to unleash their own creativity.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-5-Cat Kid and his sidekick Molly are running a comic club for Flippy Frog's many children. The kids bicker, disrupt, argue, complain, and generally behave as delightfully as any batch of after-school club members. Can Cat Kid inspire them to create well-thought-out, tightly plotted stories and classic comic art? Well-spoiler-no. Instead, after Cat Kid shows them how to come up with ideas, gives them permission to fail, and explains that any way they want to work is perfectly OK, whether it's as a team, individually, using photos or drawings, or even in verse, the club kids produce action ninja poop joke sketches, merry mayhem, and cutely morbid comics. These delight the club but cause dad Flippy to flip out and call the doctor. Pilkey never turns his stories into kids-versus-adults conflicts, and in this one, the doctor and the nurse pause to read the comics, laugh their heads off, and reassure Flippy that there's nothing wrong with his children. They remind him that adult creators write about death and poop all the time, and admonish him to be more chill. Bright colors and reasonably convincing kid-made comics add to the considerable appeal of this chapter book. Vocabulary stretch words such as vegetarian, ambitious, and, most important, autobiographical are scattered throughout. VERDICT Sure to be immensely popular, this title also serves as a great introduction to the creative process and to the evolving question of "what is a comic?" Colorful, compelling, and laugh-out-loud funny. Every elementary school library needs this graphic novel.-Paula Willey, Enoch Pratt Free Lib., Baltimoreα(c) Copyright 2011.

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 illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Younger dog man fans will love this
Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2021
Verified Purchase
Both my little boys are avid dog man fans, so were very excited to get a hold of this book when it came out. I'd say it probably skews more towards the younger fans - my older son of 10 loves dog man, but very quickly lost interest in cat kid. The younger one (7) loved it and still goes back to it now. He's even taken to drawing the characters and is looking forward to the second book coming out.

Having had a quick look through it myself, I'd say from an adult perspective there seemed to be a bit more value and story in the dog man books than there appeared to be in this.

However, this book and all the dog man's have been greatly helpful in encouraging reading habits in my kids, so for me its 5 stars. If something can hold their attention away from a screen, its perfect in my eyes.
