My son loves this Author. This is a funny comic strip ttpe of book and has some flip-o-ramas that my son (10) likes to do. He is at the age where some things he finds to kid-ish but he still loves all the series by this Author. Also has some pages where it teaches you to draw a couple different characters step-by-step. So, pretty cool book overall.Hardback, and lots of vibrant colored pictures from front to back of this book! Attached pictures My son can't wait till part 2 comes out! :)
I loved this book! It was funny! I really liked the "Weenie Wars: The Franks Awaken" chapter because I love Star Wars and I love Weenie Dogs, so it is perfect for me! And I loved the “Book ‘Em Dog Man” chapter and when Dog Man pooped in the Chief’s office! And I also liked how people were really dumb without books! And that Dog Man gave a lie detector test to some pee and a sketch artist drew a butt. And also I really liked that it is more comic book style, in color, and that it is a shorter book than normal books, so you don’t have to wait as long for the next one to come out! I can’t wait for “Dog Man 2: Unleashed” to come out! I’ve already preordered it! And I also love how you get directions on how to draw some of the characters. My favorite is how to draw “Invisible Petey,” except it is really hard and I don’t know if I can do it! Har har!
My dyslexic third grader was thrilled with this book! Not too many words, yet not made for a baby, either. The whole thing is like a comic book inside. Thank you so very much, Dav Pilkey. This is exactly the kind of book my child needs.
Our 3rd grade, 8-year old son, LOVED this. It arrived yesterday, as anticipated, and he could not wait to read it. He finished the book in less than 2 hours!! He did not want to put it down at dinner! Another great job Pilkey!Even as he drifted off to sleep, he had it in bed flipping back through his favorite parts laughing and commenting about the parts he found most comical. I think he's now fully convinced his 10-year old brother, who is not the hugest Pilkey fan, to read this one!KEEP 'EM READING!
My 9 year old read this book QUICKLY! He was done with it in less than an hour. He did love it and will most likely read it again and again, so I give it 5 stars. I just wish it would have lasted a little longer!
As a longtime fan of Pilkey, I always found that the best parts of the Captain Underpants books were George and Harold's sloppy, hand-drawn "comix." Dog Man appeared in the later episodes of Captain Underpants and now stars in his own epic graphic novel.Dog Man: the strength of a human, the brains and nose of a dog. Two species, one unstoppable cop. Dog Man firstEven when a book is funny, I usually don't laugh out loud. However, I was guffawing like an idiot reading "Dog Man." Pilkey masterfully pulls off an artistic style that looks authentically childlike, as if an eight- or nine-year-old boy illustrated it. The handwriting is sloppy and rife with misspellings.There are four chapters or episodes in this book, each one Petey the Cat's latest diabolical scheme to take over the world, only to be foiled by Dog Man's dogged police work. My favorite segment is probably "Weenie Wars," in which an army of hot dogs sprayed with "living spray" come to life and attempt to overthrow mankind, with hilarious results.If you thought Captain Underpants was getting a little stale toward the end of its run, give Dog Man a chance.
Wow dog man is AWESOME!!!!!!!Nice job Dave.Can't wait till dog man unleashed comes out.This book is good priced too.This is as good as a hit when capitain underpants came out.Or as good as flip o rama!
This was pretty cute. And at times very funny. [ Spoiler: Especially the little hot dogs]My student enjoyed it a lot (she's starting 5th grade this September). I did have to remind her a few times that the author was purposefully spelling words wrong (the only memorable case being repeated use of "supa" instead of super) though I think that I read somewhere that they intend to fix that prior to the official publication... I'm reviewing the uncorrected proof that I got at the ALA conference this year.
