Grime and Punishment by Dav Pilkey

5.0

I love Dog Man so much. This one is up there with Lord of the Fleas for my favorite in the series. I laughed out loud. I shared pictures of the pages with my coworkers. I cried at the end.

Listen, I wouldn't be surprised if I was secretly the leader of a Dog Man cult by this point. I will argue with adult patrons about the relative merits of the series. I have put a lot of time and effort into analyzing the books, and I could probably write an entire book-length academic thesis on Why Dog Man is Good. And I can't even find the words to express why Grime and Punishment hit me so hard. I probably need to sit with someone as they're reading it in order to point out everything that I thought was important, but it would more than likely turn into me saying "SEE? SEE?!??!? NOW DO YOU SEE?!???!" every time they turned the page. I'ma need more time to process this one.
