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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, \u003ci\u003eWorld War Won\u003c\/i\u003e, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for \u003ci\u003eDog Breath\u003c\/i\u003e (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for \u003ci\u003eThe Paperboy\u003c\/i\u003e (1996).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Super Diaper Baby\u003c\/i\u003e.
