Dog Man 1 by Dav Pilkey
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Dog Man, as the name implies, is part man and part dog. The story itself is laid out in a very childish comic format reminiscent of children's drawings rather than what you might expect from published comic and manga series that are known for their artwork. The story itself is a bit crazy, bordering on hysterical at times, which is likely what makes it engaging for kids if you find the right audience. My son picked this up because it was popular in his class, but doesn't seem to have latched onto it like he has some of the more advanced chapter books he's been interested in lately despite his younger age. Of course if big sister is reading those, he must be able to as well, right?
