Our Review

This latest Dog Man installment delivers exactly what fans have come to expect from Dav Pilkey's wildly popular graphic novel series—irreverent humor, action-packed panels, and heartfelt themes wrapped in deceptively simple artwork. When Dog Man faces a new challenge that requires the entire Supa Buddies crew, readers are treated to another chaotic adventure filled with clever wordplay, flip-o-ramas, and the series' signature blend of bathroom humor and genuine heroism. The story continues to explore positive messages about friendship, persistence, and doing the right thing, even when it's difficult.

What makes this entry stand out is how Pilkey masterfully balances slapstick comedy with moments of real emotional weight, creating a narrative that engages both reluctant readers and graphic novel enthusiasts. The book's accessibility—with its easy-to-follow panels and dyslexia-friendly font—makes it particularly effective for children who might struggle with traditional chapter books, while the sophisticated humor ensures adults reading along will find plenty to enjoy. This is another winning addition to a series that understands the power of laughter in teaching empathy and resilience.
