Meine Meinung
Die beliebte Hundemann-Reihe „Dog Man“ ist ein beliebter Kindercomic, der bereits sieben Bände hat. Der 8. Band wird noch in diesem Jahr veröffentlicht.

Zu Beginn jeden Bandes gibt es eine kleine Zusammenfassung der Bände bis dahin. Es sind schon einige neue Antagonisten aufgetaucht, gegen die Dog Man und seine Freunde kämpfen.

Der kleine Petey liebt den bösen Petey, obwohl er ein Klon und kein Sohn von ihm ist. Doch es macht ihm nichts aus. Er versucht weiterhin das Gute im bösen Petey hervorzuholen und hin und wieder gelingt es ihm auch.

Im 6. Teil muss insbesondere Dog Man schlimme Erfahrungen machen, die ihn sehr treffen. Er wird ausgelacht und gemobbt aufgrund seiner Andersartigkeit, denn er ist weder Mensch noch Hund und beide Seiten lehnen ihn ab. Doch auch hier zeigt sich, was echte Freunde sind, denn sie geben ihn nicht auf und versuchen alles, um ihn zu retten!

Dav Pilkey bleibt sich auch in diesem Band treu. Der Humor ist kindgerecht und die Bilder einfach schön bunt. Die Flip-O-Ramas begeistern Groß und Klein und nach mittlerweile sechs Teilen sind wir echte Flip-O-Rama-Profis! Auch die Anleitung zu den Comiczeichnungen von Dog Man und weiteren Charakteren beigeistern uns immer wieder.


Fazit
Auch dieser Teil begeistert Kinder im Alter von 5 – 12 Jahren in meinem Umfeld. Sehnsüchtig wird nach dem Lesen der neue Band erwartet. Eine sehr lesenswerte Reihe, die es mit Leichtigkeit schafft, ihre Zielgruppe bei Laune zu halten. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Another fun read with my son. He has really gotten into the running gags and now they absolutely floor him when they come up. I have to say, as a parent, I really appreciate these books. Pilkey has done a fantastic job introducing literary concepts in these stories in very humble ways. Some of the writing here is a reach for a 4 yo but I think that's okay. It certainly didn't hamper their entertainment value.

Dog Man has been framed! And he's sent packing to dog jail!

While his friends band together to solve the mystery of who really committed the crimes that Dog Man is accused of, Dog Man must battle against his own self-doubt as he wonders if he might really be a misfit, even in dog jail.

This took a little bit to get going, but the final climactic battle was loads of fun, and it was nice to see pretty much every member of the supporting cast get their moments in the spotlight.

There were the usual bad (by which we mean brilliant) puns, a sprinkling of classical literature references, plenty of flip-o-rama, some gross jokes that the Kiddo enjoyed, and "That Living Spray Factory Outlet Over There".

The setup took its time, but there were plenty of laughs to be had.

Another silly addition to the Dog Man franchise. My favorite parts are Cat Kid’s ridiculous jokes. There’s also some good girl power here, as the ladies fight the bad guys as well. I kind of wish this had a list at the end of the references shared with The Call of the Wild.

Entertaining, but not as strong as other books in the series.
