| "A quiet mood piece that depicts the bond between a paperboy and his dog. Human and canine both struggle to rouse themselves, eat breakfast from bowls, and have an intimate knowledge of their route. Pilkey paints their shared experiences with a graceful economy of language." |
Author Bio
Dav Pilkey
A lover of wordplay, especially puns, Dav (pronounced "Dave") Pilkey is the author and illustrator of fiction and nonfiction books for children. Pilkey is known for his outrageous sense of humor and some of his more popular characters include an intellectually challenged family of rabbits (the Dumb Bunnies books) and a school principal who is unwittingly hypnotized by his students into becoming a crime fighter (the Captain Underpants books). As an artist, Pilkey works in a variety of mediums including, he claims, Hamburger Helper and Dijon mustard. His 1997 illustrations for the book PAPERBOY earned him a Caldecott Honor citation.

"Although the publisher recommends the book for children as old as 10, its brevity and soothing tone suggest a younger audience of boys and girls who dream of having a paper route of their own." - Mary Lou Burket September/October 1996 Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Pilkey paints a night at once ordinary and enchanted, with the strong, safe beam of the paperboy's bicycle headlight a beacon among mysteries of dark-green hills and shifting shades of sky." - Roger Sutton March 1996
