Product description

The ninth great Dog Man adventure from the worldwide bestselling author and artist Dav Pilkey – now available in an epic paperback edition.You’ll howl with laughter! The Supa Buddies bamboozled the baddies, but all’s not right in the world. Dog Man has a new problem to pound, and he’s going to need his entire pack to help him. Will he go barking up the wrong tree?

Dav Pilkey’s wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages:

  • Explores universally positive themes such as empathy, kindness, persistence and the importance of doing good
  • Full colour pages throughout
  • For fans of Captain Underpants, The Bad Guys and Mac B., Kid Spy

Our August 2021 Ages 5-6 Book of the Month

Don’t miss out on my Book of the Month this time if you’re looking for a book with an irresistible reading hook. I’ve chosen this not only because Dog Man is currently our bestselling series worldwide, but because they are the books that kids tell us they love the most because they make them belly laugh. Funny books are a pleasure for kids to read, and reading experts state that kids are five times more likely to finish a book if they have chosen it themselves.

Dog Man is hugely accessible (with a highly illustrated, graphic style that offers plenty of prompts to help the reader along); it offers enough stretch to test those reading muscles for 5-year-olds, but also makes for a really satisfying book for older kids. You’ll root for this canine with a heart as he stumbles his way to solving crimes, along with his trusty sidekick. With themes including empathy, kindness, determination and being a positive force for good.

Don’t forget to look out for Cat Kid books, too!

Photo of Dav Pilkey

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books – the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children’s, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.
