Books on Film: Dav Pilkey on TODAY
I gotta be honest: I did NOT have the above image on my children’s literature bingo board. Why are comedian Pete Davidson and Dav Pilkey appearing together on a recent episode of the Today show? Davidson is the voice of Petey in Pilkey’s Dog Man animated film.
In this clip, Davidson talks about his love of the Captain Underpants books, Pilkey shares the story of the unexpected place where he got his start in comics, and more.
