Dog Man is sent to the pet store to pick up a fish for his chief’s birthday, but he has no money and makes a mess of the store, so the owners give him an evil fish for free. At the same time, Petey the cat is in jail but wants to find who his imposter is that is stealing, so he breaks out by using a paper decoy of himself. The decoy gets living spray used on it, is even more evil than Petey, and commands a dinosaur alive and tries to steal the treasure tank regular Petey made. Dog Man eventually saves the day, and it turns out the imposter was actually the evil fish.
I was not impressed for the first twenty pages or so. I didn’t like the font, as I thought it would be harder for kids to read because it is so inconsistent. However, I actually got into how ridiculously silly this book was…it was actually pretty funny. It is very elementary in terms of illustrations and content, but I think it could appeal to up to middle schoolers. It would be a good transitional book. Also, I really enjoyed the interactive “flip-o-ram” element…that is super cute, and it is a great way to keep kids engaged. There are drawing tutorials at the end of the book, as well as information about an app and website to interact more on, which is a great extension of the book.

This is supposed to be the year of children’s literature. I have a stack of lovely novels about orphans, and feelings, and dragons. Instead of reading any of those I am reading Dog Man with my son. They are silly and fun and perfect for a six year old boy.

Just trying to keep up with my 8-year old grandson, Anderson. Basically, this is a "graphic novel" about a cop who is half man, half dog who roots out crime, mostly as perpetrated by Petey the Cat. Something like that. Lots of potty humor that's appealing to young boys.

Hundemand er hylende morsom for både børn og voksne. Der er platte jokes, vend-o-ramaer, superintelligente fisk, onde katte og en betjent der elsker at bide i pivebolde. Det er tosset, overdrevent og jeg elsker det. •
Det er desuden bøger, der kan få selv de mest stædige små ikke-læsere til at læse - og det er ikke nogen lille bedrift.
•
Det er tegneserier og de kan godt læses højt, hvis man ikke har noget imod at læse den slags op, men for en gangs skyld vil jeg anbefale bøger primært til selvlæsning. Der er ikke meget tekst, men formatet får alligevel barnet til at føle at det har læst en tyk bog. Og det er en fed følelse. •
Anbefales til alle børn (også dem der elsker at læse) fra ca. 8-9 år. Det er tosset, det er sjovt og det er vildt god underholdning, som man flyver igennem. Og når ungerne er færdige, kan de voksne jo læse den også.

I loved the part where Flippy picks up a bunch of objects and these two guys kept asking what the objects were and it was really funny.

Not as good as the other ones later in the series. Perhaps the author hadn’t hit his stride yet?
