Eason Presents: Dav Pilkey

Eason are delighted to present DAV PILKEY, creator of the iconic DOG MAN series.

Join Dav Pilkey, the worldwide bestselling creator of DOG MAN, for a fun-filled event featuring favourite characters, tons of inspiration, and special sneak peeks at the RDS (Hall 7) on Sunday, February 23rd at 3pm.

With Pilkey’s trademark humour and heart, DOG MAN brings kids and families together with stories about friendship, love, bravery, empathy, and epic adventures.

Half dog, half man and all hero, DOG MAN is a number one bestselling global publishing phenomenon. BIG JIM BEGINS, the newest graphic novel in the Scholastic series, is out in December 2024. A Dog Man movie from DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures hits cinemas in Ireland in February 2025.

Dav Pilkey has been delighting kids and families with books that ignite their passion for reading. Don’t miss the chance to meet the award-winning author and illustrator Dav Pilkey – in Ireland for the first time in 10 years!

Following his event, Dav Pilkey will be happy to sign books bought from Eason at the event to support this local bookshop. Due to time constraints, Dav will be able to sign one book per person and no books from home. Thank you for your understanding.

Tickets for this event are €17, and include a €5 voucher, which can be used towards purchasing a copy of Dav Pilkey's books that will be on sale in the RDS by Eason on the day. The voucher is only redeemable at the event. One voucher can be used per book.

Everyone can receive a free Dog Man badge and there will also be an opportunity for people to get a selfie with the Dog Man costume character. Plus, you have the chance to win Easons Gift Vouchers, a drawing by Dav Pilkey, cool giveaways, and more!
