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. Will he be able to resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty? Dav Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of being true to one's self. Full colour pages throughout.

About the Author

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, World War Won, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy (1996).

In 2002, Dav published his first full-length graphic novel for kids, called The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby. It was both a USA Today and New York Times bestseller. Since then, he has published more than a dozen full-length graphic novels for kids, including the bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club series.

Dav's stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, empathy, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

When he is not making books for kids, Dav loves to kayak with his wife in the Pacific Northwest.

Instant hit with child; parents not so sure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2020

Verified Purchase

There is no doubt that children love these books. My 5yo who is a reasonably good reader loved this first book in the series, reading it from cover to cover (230 pages) in a single sitting. But essentially these books are "junk food" reading: delicious, high risk of binge-reading, but just not very good for you.
Obviously with a comic-style book there aren't many words to the page and there are lots of short phrases or single words/sounds rather than full sentences, which goes with the style (the language is very American). I expect they are brilliantly useful for encouraging reluctant readers - it must be a massive boost for a child to see how many pages s/he has read and enjoyed - and if getting your child reading is your top priority, then these will be a great choice.
But for a child who is not particularly reluctant, I struggle with the idea of allowing them to read too many. What bothers me is that there are deliberate spelling and grammar mistakes ("supa", "more worser" etc.). I expect this is meant to be part of the fun, but I am not sure it is fun for a reader who doesn't yet know which version is correct. This must just be confusing for readers still learning correct spelling and syntax. Am I taking this too seriously? No, I don't think so, because readers of these books are at such a very important developmental stage. Reading books full of deliberate mistakes is bound to undermine both their learning and their understanding that things like grammar and spelling actually matter and are worth getting right. Such a shame!

Big thumbs up from the boys!

I bought this along with Ook and Gluk which my 6 year old loved reading together. So he was excited to start reading Dogman. Hes actually enjoying reading this (reluctant reader) and has been laughing so much that my 5 year old wanted to know what was going on. So now we are all reading dogman before bed and my boys are laughing together instead of wrestling.

Anything that gets my children excited about reading gets a thumbs up for me, even if it’s not always grammatically correct. Who cares? They are reading!!

Next dogman book is on their lists to Santa!

Great for reluctant readers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Dog Man is a comic-style book with a wacky storyline that kids (5-10) seem to love. My son can't get enough of the Dog Man series. The small blocks of handwritten text and colourful pictures make this interesting and engaging for reluctant readers. The jokes are funny and kids will be repeating the catchphrases in no time.

My son now likes to read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I always struggled to get my 7 year old to read at home, always got distracted or bored and wouldn't try. He likes the captain underpants cartoon so showed him this series of books and let him pick some ( plus a cool bookmark) and he loves it. He comes down in the morning and reads a bit and will often just pick it up throughout the day without me even asking him to do some ready. He really enjoys it, it has cartoon style pages so pictures and not too much writing for him.
Finally found something that keeps his attention.

I was not disappointed, it's in comic strip form so not huge ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2017

My 10 year old is a big fan of Captain Underpants so thought I would get him Dog Man to try. I was not disappointed, it's in comic strip form so not huge walls of text to read which is great for my son who has very little attention span! It also inspired him to make his own comic. Great buy.
