It feels silly to post about this book, but I really did enjoy it! If your kid likes Dogman, The Bad Guys, or other adventurous graphics, this is a great book to add to their reading lists. I would consider it almost twice the length as a typical Dogman too, so it increases the reading time needed to finish it. Think space opera, written for the youngest crowd. The art is pretty with a handdrawn feel, the humor is as silly as you might expect from a book aimed at an audience that fell in love with Captain Underpants, the gags pay off, and there's even online content on their website to match with the book release. My only complaint is that I know the authors are making a second book in the series which is about to release, and I'm very excited to recommend the new title to readers at our library as I have with this book.

And, spoiler: 

he does get his pizza in the end :)
