I really need Dog Man to get a grip on his doggy self. He's not a puppy anymore. Otoh, I am enjoying that we are catching up to Cat Kid Comics school series; I absolutely adore the lesson on adverbs (always the hardest main part of speech to understand).

"It's your world. You can color it any way you want."
Pilkey’s newest instalment of Dog-man is a story and a drawing book. There are step by step instructions for drawing your own characters at the end.

This time Dog Man has been kicked off the force and a mysterious, slightly slobbery cat is the replacement.

Yes he’s really done it this time! He hands over his badge and clears out his desk, but while he may be out of a job, he's not yet out of hope. With his friends at his side, can Dog Man dig himself out of this hole and paw his way back onto the force?

The plots explores positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of doing good. References are made to Maya Angelou, Carrie Fisher and a poem by Natalie Elizabeth Frye.
The illustrations are bright, and show more active involving lots of slapstick humor. show less
A very cute series ... the childlike handwritten monologue and illustrations are adorable, and relatable for children. The flip-o-rama sections are fun.... although, can be a potential issue with ripped pages. My children love this book, and the movie!
This book follows dog man after he gets fired for digging up the mayor's roses and disguises himself as a cat to get his job back. This book is humorous and adventurous. This book would be great for 3rd-5th grade and I don't think it could attach to an activity but could maybe be good for a book report or to keep in the classroom library for students to read on their own.
Love the Dogman books! My son has the entire collection! Very clean and cute, funny stories for kids.
