Dog Man Unleashed: From the Creator of Captain Underpants (Dog Man #2)

Description

From School Library Journal Gr 1–4—Readers who enjoyed Dog Man will be pleased
to see Pilkey deliver the same blend of over-the-top plot turns and
hilariously irreverent humor. This time, the title character (the result of
medical surgery that fused a canine and a policeman after an accident) is
tasked with buying his boss, the police chief, a birthday present. When the
pet he purchases turns out to be an evil fish, wacky high jinks ensue. And
there’s more trouble on the horizon. Angry that a mysterious stranger is
framing him for robbery, Dog Man’s nemesis, Petey the cat, escapes from prison
to clear his name. Meanwhile, the decoy that Petey uses to make his getaway, a
flat paper cat, comes to life. Once again, Dog Man must put things right,
relying on his keen ability to fight crime while also attempting to stifle
some of his canine urges. Pilkey uses the premise that the comic has been
penned by George and Harold, two elementary school students, and the artwork
and story are delightfully childlike. The illustrations have been rendered
with a thick-lined scrawl and simple shapes, and intentional misspellings and
errors are sprinkled throughout. While the sentence structure is simple and
concise, Pilkey displays a sense of sophistication, including clever puns and
wordplay, as well as a clear mastery of sequential art, making this an ideal
option for both reluctant and more advanced readers. VERDICT An entertainingly
zany addition to graphic novel collections; for series fans and newcomers
alike.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal Read more Review Everyone Digs Dog
