10 ‘Captain Underpants’ Behind-The-Scenes Tales From Dav Pilkey

Strolling into Scholastic NYC Headquarters really looks like stepping right into a time capsule of my childhood bookshelf. Checking in at safety, I spot a Harry Potter mosaic above the sign-in desk. Strolling in direction of the elevators, I peek to my left, the place there is a large, fuzzy mural of Clifford the Massive Pink Canine. Wanting up, a larger-than-life Captain Underpants is flying out of the wall.

Talking of Captain Underpants — iconic creator Dav Pilkey is within the constructing immediately. He is about to do a digital Storyvoice livestream to almost 170,000 viewers worldwide, and the Scholastic workplace is buzzing with pleasure. A gathering room has been transformed right into a watch celebration, and I am honored to have a front-row seat.
