Our Review

This fifth installment in the wildly popular graphic novel series delivers another hilarious dose of action-packed adventure, perfect for newly independent readers. When new villains threaten the city, Dog Man teams up with a surprising crewโ€”a kitten, a robot, and even his former nemesis, Petey the catโ€”to save the day. Pilkeyโ€™s signature blend of simple, expressive illustrations and fast-paced, easy-to-follow panels makes the story highly accessible. The central question of whether a villain can truly change provides a wonderful, lighthearted entry point for discussions about redemption and friendship.

What makes this book so effective is its masterful understanding of what engages reluctant readers, combining bathroom humor with genuine heart. The unlikely alliance and themes of second chances will resonate with children navigating their own social dynamics. Pilkeyโ€™s unique comic-hybrid format, complete with flip-o-ramas, ensures a dynamic and interactive reading experience that feels more like play than work. Itโ€™s a surefire hit that will have kids laughing out loud and eagerly reaching for the next book in the series.
