He is making eight stops on his “Celebrating Heroes Around the World International Tour.” The tour is in celebration of the release of “Dog Man: Big Jim Begins” and the upcoming release of the “Dog Man” movie, which will be in theaters on Jan. 31.

2 Dandelions Bookshop in Brighton and The Caboose: Sidetrack Bookshop for Kids in Royal Oak, are collaborating to bring Pilkey to the Royal Oak Music Theatre on Feb. 17.
