New villains turn up in the city and Dog Man cannot handle them alone, which forces an alliance nobody expected with his old adversary Petey. A kitten and a robot round out the team.
Dav Pilkey's fifth Dog Man book keeps the comic-strip layout that made the series work for reluctant readers: panels, speech bubbles, deliberate misspellings played for laughs and colour on every page. The jokes land fast, the plot moves quickly, and there is a steady thread about second chances running under the slapstick. Reading level and page design are pitched at children around eight to twelve, including those who usually avoid longer books.
Good to know:
• Book five of the Dog Man graphic novel series
• An unlikely team-up between Dog Man, a kitten, a robot and Petey
• Full-colour comic panels throughout rather than blocks of prose
• Humour that pulls in children who resist ordinary chapter books
Aimed at readers aged roughly eight to twelve and at anyone collecting Dav Pilkey's series. Available in English at Boipoka.
