raizel Readers of Dog Man and Cat Kid should read East of Eden when they are older to better appreciate the question of whether you can choose good or must succumb to evil.

Ok, don't diss Pilkey as just for kids. His works are much funnier than what I've seen of Three Stooges or Mel Blanc, for example.
So much in this one. Seriously. Don't miss the back matter, which reveals the 'easter eggs' from Steinbeck and other sources. But this also riffs on superhero movies.
Petey is proud to be a "deplorable... contemptible... despicable... loathsome... detestable... :consults thesaurus: ... ignominious... supervillain!" But to get Li'l Petey to cooperate, he has to pretend that it's all for pretend.
And I love the return of 80-HD.

Another silly/funny installment in the Dog Man series. Charlie is a huge fan and his giggles make me a fan of these, too.
Dav Pilky knows how to read books to entice kids. This adventure adds in some superhero hi-jinks, and brings back the Flip-o-rama that exists in the Captain Underpants books. I love this series and so will your kids.
