El Capitán Calzoncillos y la ridícula historia del inodoro morado (Captain Underpants and the Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People)

by Dav Pilkey

Overview

When we last saw George and Harold, they were about to take their pet pterodactyl Crackers back to the Cretaceous period. But things didn't work out quite as they had hoped. They've entered an absurd alternate reality where teachers are nice, kids are allowed to read banned books, and the cafeteria food doesn't smell like dirty diapers. Even worse, they've discovered alternate versions of themselves--Evil George and Evil Harold--who plan to unleash some preposterous plans on Piqua, Ohio. Now it's up to George and Harold to defeat the evil twins and THEIR superhero, Captain Blunderpants!

Se han vuelto Jorge y Berto completamente locos? Su Inodoro Morado los ha llevado a un lugar extranisimo donde los maestros son amables, la comida de la cafeteria es deliciosa y el director, el Sr. Carrasquilla, piensa que ellos son realmente graciosos. Algo esta muy, pero muy mal... y se pone peor cuando los mellizos malvados que se parecen a Jorge y Berto secuestran a su pterodactilo mascota, Galletas, y a Chuli, el hamster bionico. Ahora Jorge y Berto deben enfrentar a los enemigos mas listos que hayan tenido jamas: ellos mismos! Sera este un nuevo reto para el increible Capitan Calzoncillos?

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 college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, World War Won, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy (1996).

In 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby. It was both a USA Today and New York Times bestseller. He has published more than seventy books for children, including the bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club graphic novels.

Dav's stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

When he is not making books for kids, Dav loves to kayak with his wife in the Pacific Northwest.
