Have a kid who loves graphic novels? Looking for a new series they can enjoy? This graphic novel series by award-winning author Dav Pilkey will delight elementary aged kids to no end. Don’t wait to get your paws on Dog Man.
After a tragic accident involving a dog and a police officer, doctors save both lives by combining the head of the dog with the body of the police officer. This trusted companion becomes one of the finest cops on the force – except when his canine instincts take over. Criminals will throw balls, let loose running squirrels, and anything else that distract this lovable mishmash crime fighter extraordinaire.
With ten books currently in the series, kids will find plenty to love and read. While the basic premise remains the same in each book, the tales have different humorous details for kids and adults alike. Grown up will recognize the title spiffs on classic tales, such as Mothering Heights and For Whom the Ball Rolls, while kids can’t get over the hilarity of these animal characters and their antics.
My kids, ranging in age from seven to eleven, read these books over and over again. They love getting a new volume from the library and perusing it endlessly. You can buy books individually or in sets of three, six, or all ten titles on Amazon. No matter how many you buy, your kids are sure to love these canine capers.
