Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021

Excellent book!
My 5 year old son loves dogman books so much! He got the book this afternoon, finished it in less than 50 minutes and cannot stop talking about it. He likes to read aloud, acting like the characters. Thank you, Dav Pilkey!

NOT APPROPRIATE FOR LITTLE READERS

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021

Major disappointment, no where close to being as great as it's predecessors. What happened Dav? This book is disgusting, it displays the characters peeing on themselves, and says "if you're happy and you know it poop your pants". NOT APPROPRIATE FOR LITTLE READERS.

Disgusting references to poop and pee

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is absolutely disgusting. My daughter has purchased all the DogMan books, but this is the worst one yet. Peeing, songs about pooping, diarrhea, another song about 3 pounds of poop on the floor, etc. This is a book you want parents to pay for so their children can read this garbage? Ridiculous. Your last book, CatMan was uninteresting to my 10 year old, so we looked forward for several months for the next DogMan Mothering Heights. Even my 10 year old was disgusted. What a piece of trash! So disappointed, Dav Pilkey. Obviously what began as an inspiration, turned into rubbish that you expect us to buy for our children. There are other ways to tell a story.

Hilarious, but beware of potty humor!

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

My 7 year old son LOVED this book. He laughed so much while reading it, and kept bringing me sections to read. It was indeed funny! It does contain quite a bit of potty humor (farting, diarrhea) so I probably wouldn't recommend it for any younger of a child (who may not understand that this sort of humor is not appropriate in certain situations....such as, at school!). I'm not even sure I should have let my son read it since he sometimes forgets his filter. But, oh well - it was super funny and he loved it. We are looking forward to the next Dog Man!

Awesome!

This book added a lot of new stuff, they added 'Meet the Cast' section where it describes every character, such as their strongness and weakness. I have to say it was a little (actually, not a little, A LOT) shorter, but WAY more emotional. Sadness, badness, goodness, and LOVE! It talks about Petey's past (when Sarah interviews him), about her mom and him when he was young. After Petey's dad left them, they started with nothing, life was hard. But his mom never lost hope, she forgave him, always believed in him, and she always said, "Love lasts forever and ever" When Sarah interviews him to talk about his past, he says he realized that Lil' Petey was the same as his mom, Lil' Petey never lost hope, he forgave Petey, he believed in him.
I hope you didn't cry while reading this, pretty emotional, huh?
ANYWAYS, back to non-emotional stuff, the enemies in this book were the two sippers. And it was made by Big Jim and Grampa (somehow it isnt Grandpa).
And I didn't realize Chief was CRUSHING on Nurse Lady~~ Ooh LaLa~~
In the beginning of the story dogman gets hurt when the toilet seat falls onto his hands while he was drinking from the toilet. So, he has to wear a cane (the thing dogs wear to stop them from licking or biting a certain place on its body), dogman is worried that he'll get bullied because the cane looked funny. So, Lil' Petey makes him a 'special' cane and tells him to press the button whenever it's dangerous (such as bullies). When he arrives at the police station the cops immediately begans to bully dogman, he clicks the button on his cane and he transforms into a ROBOT!! That scares the mean bullies away.
In the end of the story after Petey's house is destroyed he founds his mom's ukulele (i dunno how to spell it) under broken bricks. The story ends as Petey makes music with his mom's ukulele…
Sorry, I promised there wasn't any more emotional stuff from now on but there is too many in this book *Sniff* I can't help it.... *Sniff* *Sobs*
I could continue but I feel the longer I write, the unorganized it becomes… I am VERY sorry that it is unorganized but every time I write a paragraph I have another thing to write. So yeah. I better end it here

My 7 year-old son LOVES these books! He was a hesitant reader, so it makes me so happy to see him enjoy reading! We’ve had the book for 2 hours and he’s already read it twice. He says it’s his favorite one!

Missed the mark

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021

This is the worst of all the Dogman books. The other books have a bit of potty humor in them (I get that kids think fart jokes are funny) but this book is full of trashy songs about diarrhea and too much garbage content. Dave pilkey was already barely scraping by with content, this is a new low.
My 9yo old said ‘mom these used to be good but now they’re just dumb.”

Good Story with a Moral that Bears Repeating

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Typically, Dog Man stories have a fairly grown-up lesson along with the potty humor and other appeals to young readers. Mothering Heights does not discuss Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or philosophical quips as other of Pilkey’s books have done, but it is a well told story with a compelling lesson.

There is foreshadowing, allusions to popular music and a nice tying up of all plot dimensions in the last chapter. The book’s message that love is eternal and the most important part of life is good, of course, and perhaps it can’t be repeated enough.

There is also plenty of potty humor, a kids’ perspective on adult romance and other jokes that will make children laugh.

Though Pilkey here doesn’t disseminate truths of psychology or philosophy, it is a well-told tale with a good moral. Recommended for young readers and the young at heart.
