Our Review

In this second installment of the wildly popular series, the heroic Dog Man faces his most cunning adversary yet, Petey the Cat, whose criminal schemes threaten to overwhelm the city. The graphic novel format, bursting with Pilkey's signature comic-style illustrations and action-packed panels, makes complex vocabulary and plot twists accessible and wildly entertaining for developing readers. The high-stakes chase and constant gags provide a perfect balance of excitement and humor that keeps pages turning effortlessly.

What truly distinguishes this book is its clever wordplay and heartfelt subplots woven seamlessly into the slapstick adventure, exploring themes of redemption and friendship without ever feeling heavy-handed. Reluctant readers, in particular, will be drawn in by the fast-paced visual storytelling and the irresistible, goofy charm of the half-dog, half-man hero. It’s a surefire hit that transforms reading practice into pure, unadulterated fun.
