Pilkey, Dav Dog Man
and Cat Kid, 253 pgs. GRAPHIC NOVEL Graphix, 2018 (Scholastic). $9.99
Content: PG.
Petey tried to clone
himself and made an adorable kitty that Dog Man adopts, while Dog Man is at
work, a babysitter is supposed to be watching the kitty, but the babysitter is
really the evil Petey in disguise. Also,
Dog Man is going to be made into a movie and the stars have been cast. When the real Dog Man causes catastrophes
the director kicks him off the set. When
Dog Man and his kitty work together they are able to uncover the evil Petey and
his plot to ruin the movie.
As an adult,
I think this series is ridiculously stupid.
However, my second and third grade sons love this series so much they
asked for it for Christmas and when they drive with their friends in carpool
they sit and talk about Dog Man and laugh.
The illustrations are bright and attractive the plot is easy to follow
and there is a slap stick humor throughout.
The rating is PG because one of the robot bad guys has his pants pulled
down and his illustrated bare bum is on page.
Also they say words like “dumb jerk” and use potty humor. If you want a book that all the boys will
be waiting to check out this is it.
