Not Appropriate for 8 year old
20 January 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
My 8 year old son was excited to read his new book but we both quickly realized that it was not appropriate for him. There is no reason for there to be multiple pages of nothing but a dog puking violently everywhere. What is my kid getting out of that? In addition, my son even found it somewhat hard to read because of the horrible english it uses. It combines words together to form words that don't even exist which is not what a second grader needs to practice reading! I tried to return this as my son is refusing to read it after the puking dog pages but return shipping was more than I paid for the book to begin with. Do yourself a favor and get your child something worthwhile to read and skip this horrible book.

Nine Year Old Approved
24 December 2018 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
My nine year old loves this series. I decided to read this volume to find out why my son finds Dog Man so entertaining.
What I found is that there isn’t anything too mysterious about its appeal. A mix of sympathetic characters, gross-out scenes and a bland but well-meaning moral seem to be the formula for its success. The emphasis on bodily humor will probably make the book more suitable for a boy than a girl.
But perhaps a review by a child would be more apt than a forty-something’s opinion. He thought it was good but not great. Dog Man is a good choice if you are looking for a book that your pre-teen will read without having to apply any pressure. But don’t expect anything too substantial in the text.

Very inappropriate language, disrespectful content unless you're raising mouthy thugs.
16 March 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I was excited to get these books for my son (8) for Christmas and saw they were 5 star books so I bought them without looking into them. I sat and read with him and omg.....I was appalled by the poor grammar, language and disrespect. Talk about dumbing down our kids. They talk like uneducated thugs, and sorry but calling someone dumb, poopy and stupid is not allowed in this household. Worst part is I bought him the whole series not just this book. I would highly not recommend these books. They're awful and a waste of money. I also bought the Dan Gutman Weird School books and they have the same poor content as these. Stick with classics! These books SUCK.

Hip Hip, Hooray for Dog Man
12 February 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
Half humanoid, half canine guardian of justice and humanity in league of his unforgettably formidable allies saves the city from evil villains set out to plague it in as annoying way as fleas on a poor dog’s body. Hooray for Dog Man, our unlikely but likable hero that deserves of our heartfelt hoot and hollow. To contradict the usual glorification of hero-worshiping façade, Dog Man is none of your familiar super heroes in Marvel Comic Strips, nor is he like Batman, Superman, or even Iron man who seems to possess vulnerable human traits, and yet is equipped with wondrously technological gizmos or alien superpower. Contrariwise, Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man wonderfully embodies all things related to our unfavorable human tendencies that cloud our wondrous potential abilities - insecurity, disappointment, loneliness, and diffidence as deeply felt by Pilkey himself as a child diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD at school.
Pace the generalization of the book as being intent for children, this book is inclusive of literature, philosophy, philosophy, and sociology contextualized in the story and delineated in the characters without gravitas of the academia. Take Dog Man, who finds himself estranged from his colleagues at his police station except his boss, Chief. Dog Man cannot talk for the reason because he’s a dog with a human body used to belong to his K-9 policeman killed in action. As the title "The Brawl of the Wild" adumbrates, Dog Man is in a way reminiscent of Buck, the sled dog in Jack London’s classic The Call of the Wild that comes to term with his fate and even reconciliation with a treacherous human in the person of Thornton. Then there are Petey, who is supposedly a sinister jailbird, but in fact softy inside, his cute young son Li’l Petey, who never gives up on his jail- bound father Petey in his joint collaboration with Dog Man in rescue operation of the city, and stern but benevolent Chief, who seems to defend Dog Man against unjust and unfair treatments from his fellow policeman/policewomen and the pompous judge. Wisecraking and heartwarming, hilarious and sentimental, intelligent and vivacious, each of the chapters is smoothly linked to the next one with amusing in-between intermissions that deserves of the separate theaters of appreciation.
The book is an enjoyable parade of laugh and compassion wrapped up in delightful amusement of vivid colors and elegant dialogues, which can be made possible by an insightful and observant author who stands with the reader and sees hope and goodness mired in the despair of hopelessness and powerlessness at the heart of humanity. I recommend this book to all who want to spend their time reading something jovial and funny after a long hard day or just to fill their minds and hearts with a fresh breath of air. This is a scintillating read that evokes a wide arc of thoughtfulness and imagination in the minds of readers both young and old, and the young at heart.

Thank you Dog Man!

This lovely book came Monday 12/24. My 8 yo and 6yo have already devoured it.
My 6yo is not a confident reader. He’s great at reading but doesn’t seem to trust his own abilities. Something really clicked with him a week ago and this kiddo binge read all 5 Dog Man books so he would be caught up for #6.
I love how these books spark a love of reading and a lot of laughs.
