From School Library Journal

Gr 1–4—Readers who enjoyed Dog Man will be pleased to see Pilkey deliver the same blend of over-the-top plot turns and hilariously irreverent humor. This time, the title character (the result of medical surgery that fused a canine and a policeman after an accident) is tasked with buying his boss, the police chief, a birthday present. When the pet he purchases turns out to be an evil fish, wacky high jinks ensue. And there's more trouble on the horizon. Angry that a mysterious stranger is framing him for robbery, Dog Man's nemesis, Petey the cat, escapes from prison to clear his name. Meanwhile, the decoy that Petey uses to make his getaway, a flat paper cat, comes to life. Once again, Dog Man must put things right, relying on his keen ability to fight crime while also attempting to stifle some of his canine urges. Pilkey uses the premise that the comic has been penned by George and Harold, two elementary school students, and the artwork and story are delightfully childlike. The illustrations have been rendered with a thick-lined scrawl and simple shapes, and intentional misspellings and errors are sprinkled throughout. While the sentence structure is simple and concise, Pilkey displays a sense of sophistication, including clever puns and wordplay, as well as a clear mastery of sequential art, making this an ideal option for both reluctant and more advanced readers. VERDICT An entertainingly zany addition to graphic novel collections; for series fans and newcomers alike.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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 illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

As I said on the other book, it was clean, crisp and unopened. We got to enjoy that new book crackle when you first open the cover. Really glad for that because it's our favorite part and you only hear it once. These books are so fun for my son!

Silly, but son loves these books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

Our youngest is a good but reluctant reader. The only books he is prepared to pick up and read by himself are the Investigators and Dog man - series of comic books with little text and full of dad-humor. I can understand it but its also a little frustrating as when I was his age I read far more and more comprehensive continental comic books like Tintin.
Anyway he always has a great time reading the Dog Man books and this second volume is no exception book. And he always wants to share the fun and jokes with us.
The softcover colourful book is attractively presented and I can't deny that the books is extremely accessible for young readers. While the hilarious stories are indeed quite funny.

Superb!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

The dog man series are absolutely brilliant. My 6 year old lacks confidence with reading but loves stories so we always read to him (lovely but nice for him to read himself too). These books have unclocked reading for him, he can’t put them down. They are hilarious for adults too and have inspired him to be more confident with his reading in general - hurry up Dav and write more please!

Brilliant series for independent readers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

My daughter who is seven has fallen in love with these books! It’s a great way for kids to become independent readers as the balance of text and images is perfect. It’s essentially a good comic with fun (and a bit weird) storylines. When we do reading at bedtime of ‘proper’ books, she then picks this one up to tears in bed herself afterwards which we love to see.

Great book for childrens independent reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 27, 2021

Bought this for my dyslexic and dyspraxic 10yr old for him to do some independent reading. He read them very quickly and even chose to read when he didn't have to. He was able to tell us about the characters and events in the story.
Quick delivery too.
