Kat Kong is a funny picture book from the genius mind of Dav Pilkey--creator of laugh-out-loud kid favorites including Captain Underpants and Dog Man.
When the fearsome Kat Kong wreaks havoc on the rodent citizens of Mousopolis (all played by Pilkey's own pets in mixed-media photographic illustrations) someone must halt the massive meowing menace before it's too late!
But is anyone clever enough to halt this massive meowing menace?
For kids not quite ready to enter the chapter book world, Kat Kong is a winner. This silly spoof of King Kong has all of the zany cat-and-mouse action you'd expect from Dav Pilkey, creator of the bestselling Dog Man and Captain Underpants series.
Dav Pilkey is the creator of many acclaimed children's books, including Dogzilla, Kat Kong, god bless the gargoyles, and the blockbuster series Captain Underpants, Ricky Ricotta, and Dog Man. His picture book The Paperboy received a Caldecott Honor. He lives in the Pacific Northwest. pilkey.com

One of my favorite book series as a kid was Dav Pilkey's awesome Kat Kong and Dogzilla! I have always wanted to animate something from the series so I a had a ton of fun working on this splash page from Kat Kong! https://t.co/DNKm7ahu9K

"The irrepressible Pilkey strikes again with a spoof of the famous film, enacted by a real cat and some mice in color photo images imposed on background paintings. Artfully designed, colorful, and funny--especially for those who know King Kong."--Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Kat Kong and Dogzilla:
"These two brazenly funny picture books spoof Godzilla and King Kong as they launch the mice inhabitants of Mousopolis against, respectively, a killer cat and dog. . . . Pilkey's irreverent exuberance is irresistible."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
