Howl with laughter with the FIRST book in the hilarious full-colour illustrated series, Dog Man, from the creator of Captain Underpants! George and Harold (the co-stars of the enormously popular Captain Underpants series) are in big trouble again! George and Harold have created a new breed of justice -- one that is part dog, part man, and ALL HERO! With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound digs into deception, claws after crooks, rolls over robbers, and scampers after squirrels.

The Adventures of Dog Man

From the creators of Captain Underpants, it's Dog Man, the crime- biting canine who is part dog, part man, and All Cop!

George and Harold have created a great hero who digs into deception, claws after crooks, and rolls over robbers. When Greg the police dog and his cop companion are injured on the job, a life-saving surgery changes the course of history, and Dog Man is born. With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound has a real nose for justice. But can he resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty?

An exciting fully-illustrated series from the creator of Captain Underpants
Full of the same humour and fun of Dav's previous graphic novels, but this time using standard spelling
Brings a furry edge to the superhero genre, featuring a hero who is half dog and half man
Perfect for younger fans of graphic novels

OK, but not great

I got these books for my son, because of the great reviews. All the reviews failed to mention that most of the content on the book talks about "poop", butts, and gross stuff. I mean, maybe this is the reason why kids find these books so entertaining?.
The books have vibrant colors, and yes my son loves to read them, but I don't really love when he reads it a loud to me and there is a poop comment every time. I have to admit he loves to check the last pages and try to draw the characters.

Perfect Way to Get Child to Read

11 June 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Potty humor, phonetic spelling, and funny plot lines make this an engaging, fun, and easy read for young readers. Flipping through it at the book fair, I put it back on the shelf--we have enough poop jokes in this house, thank you very much--but my kindergarten child begged me to buy it. As she read it to me the next day, I found myself laughing out loud at the silliness of it, starting when the doctor says, "You're a genius!" to the nurse who suggests they sew the police dog's head to the police man's body following an explosion (and creating Dogman).

The negative reviews harping on the way the author makes light of violence in this book (e.g. the bombing by villian/cat, Petey) is ridiculous. Every child's comic book hero is created by some violent act (do you remember Batman? Spiderman? Ironman?), but in this book, the author chooses to focus on the humor and ridiculousness of the hero, a Dogman, rather than the horror of the world in which he lives. Later books in the series build on previous plots. It's smarter than it seems.

My six-year-old child thought this book was hilarious, and she's now read the entire series multiple times. If you're looking for a way to pry a child away from a television screen on a rainy day, here it is.

Funny, engaging book for kids

16 March 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. Despite having a high level of reading ability, she's been resistant to reading for pleasure. This book has snapped her out of her rut and brought enjoyment back to reading. She tore through this book in one evening and laughed nearly the whole time. The grammar is not the best, which bothers me, but this is a book that keeps my daughter's interest so I'm willing to overlook it.

You wouldn't want the books in this series to be what teaches your child to speak/write, but they sure do hold a kid's interest!

Not so much that I, an adult, love it, but the kids I tutor in English love it. There are a multitude of black and white simple and comical sketches and loads of funny situations kids can connect with. The only thing I wish were different is that there is a lot of slang, along with some vulgarities of the sort that appeal to kids, and the language is not very good. You would hope, if your child spoke that way, that he/she would grow out of it. However, since the story is narrated by one of the kids in it, this may be unavoidable and one of the book's charms (for kids), rather than a fault. For kids who are native speakers surrounded by adults speaking properly, the errors wouldn't matter.
That said, the learning "benefits" of the books in this series pale in comparison with the natural, yet accurate, not-vulgar, correctly-spelled, and often useful vocabulary in the conversations in all the Calvin and Hobbes books. Nevertheless, no matter how good and nutritious a food may be, if a person doesn't enjoy eating it and won't eat much, it won't help him, right? So I am grateful just to have something that a reluctant ESL pupil enjoys reading! For that purpose, fortunately or unfortunately, it is the books in this series that fill the bill. This was not our first, and we will probably be buying and reading more of them.

Eight year olds would write a better book.

I ordered this book because two kids I read with (ages 10) wanted it. They like it and I hate it. There is virtually no plot, character development, or narrative arch. What little plot there is is actually stupid. The author also purposefully uses incorrect grammar for no reason. Stupid books like this make stupid people.
