Our Review

This sixth installment in the wildly popular graphic novel series finds our canine cop hero in a serious predicament, wrongfully sent to the pound. The plot masterfully balances high-stakes adventure with a deeply relatable emotional core, as Dog Man grapples with his identity and searches for where he truly belongs. Pilkey's signature blend of laugh-out-loud humor and genuine heart keeps the pages turning, while the graphic novel format, complete with flip-o-ramas, makes it exceptionally accessible for developing readers.

What sets this chapter book apart is its skillful exploration of complex themes like justice, friendship, and self-acceptance, all wrapped in a package of slapstick comedy and bold illustrations. It is an ideal pick for young readers who are building confidence with longer stories but still crave the visual engagement of a comic book. The story's central question of fitting in will resonate deeply with any child navigating their own social world, making this much more than just a funny book. It’s a heartfelt adventure that champions loyalty and proves that our differences are what make us heroes.
