What does it mean to be a family? What does it mean to be friends? What does it mean to be good? This latest installment explores these deep questions in typical Dog Man fashion: with a funny mix of fart jokes, action, adventure and heart. These graphic novels are really growing on me! I like the new notes from Harold and George in the back of the book that explain the classic literature references.

Another humorous, clever addition to the DogMan series, perfect for readers aged 6+ who enjoy comic book style illustrations. With a good balance of text and pictures these introductory, short chapter graphic novels are a great way for developing readers to build their confidence and grá for reading!

It wasnt the best and it wasn’t bad either, maybe it could have more action than just “STUFF” happening

Ben continues to be totally enthralled with the series - he’s going to be so sad when we catch up with all the published titles!

“Thou mayest” - Cat Kid (209 Pilkey)
Finishing this book as solidified my previous statement of this being a work of art. The simplistic art melded with wonderful storytelling really made this a favorite. Cat Kids villain arc and subsequent redemption arc has to be one of my favorite developments in fiction. I truly felt hatred for Petey and his manipulation of Cat Kid. Emotions were conveyed incredibly and made me feel for each and every one of the characters, especially Dog Man when he was called a “bad boy” (which he is not, of course). Dog Mans emotional expression was one of my favorites, he doesn’t talk so it’s all conveyed through body language and expression, and it is done so artfully. I also believe this book handles social issues well, including the sexism Yolay experienced at the hand of the director and Peteys negative view of robots. This book was also very inclusive of all different types of species (people, italians, cats, dogs, robots). I really loved Cat Kids and 80-HDs relationship and development as well. The lesson at the end of the book almost made me tear up.
Peak. Fiction.
