October 2019 - we're now caught up with the books published so far, and I've somehow become a Dog Man fan in the process. I mean, I might have almost teared up at one particularly sweet moment. Yes, there are still poop jokes and slapstick humor, but this series has heart in a way that Captain Underpants didn't.
Dogman tackles generational abuse, breaking the cycle, and Ernest Hemingway :.)..

Very cool! It manages to talk about difficult real-life situations and still be positive and genuinely funny. It's wacky and has slang and conversational spelling, so if your kid being exposed to that sort of thing makes you nervous, you should skip this series. My 6.5yo was drawn into reading it himself with my help and progressed a lot in his level with this comic book. We loughed our asses off at some puns and jokes and I really enjoyed explaining to him the humour of some situations that were beyond his immediate grasp. Highly recommended if this sort of thing sounds like your cup of tea.

Der beste Band der Serie! Sehr lustig und mit feiner Moral, die Kindern großen Spaß macht!
I don't know how Pilkey does it. There were moments during storytime when I thought for sure the jokes and storylines were aimed too often at parents and not at the younger listener but my 5 year old LOVED this. I did, too. There were moments we had to stop reading because we were both laughing so hard and the literary references are clever and humble.
Child's favorite part was the introduction of a new moth/butterfly character and he said he really liked the cupcake eating that went on in this book. He happens to be a cupcake eating advocate so this book aligned strongly with his politics.
Personally, I liked the Hemingway references and the meta-gag about the newness of the evil villain but my favorite arc in this whole series has to be the relationship between Petey and his younger cloned self going through the pangs of redemption from the pessimism of a criminal's worldview.
