I like the idea for this series--Children's Authors-- and there are several already written in this series. Interesting and fun facts about the creator of Captain Underpants. Table of contents, glossary and index are included, but no sources are listed. Checked out the ABDO website on this book and did not find anything different there--perhaps because the book is so new. Children who love Pilkey's books will enjoy learning more about him, including his struggles in school. (Does the story jump around a bit? Is the ending a bit abrupt? I did want to know a little more!)
