My seven year old son doesn't hate reading, but there are almost always other things he'd rather be doing than reading. He finished this book in three days. I've never seen him so focused on a book. I don't necessarily like these comic book type books (there are also some words in the book that we don't use - like "idiot" and "stupid"), but if it gets him to learn to love reading, then I'm all for it.

I have a HUGE Dav Pilkey fan. This book lit up his world. I would say this is 2nd grade reading level but I'll continue to buy every Dav Pilkey book as long as he puts new ones out. If you're unfamiliar with this series it is much like the Cpatain Underpants series and more comic style than chapter book. These books are amazing at engaging young readers!

My daughter loves this series. This latest book is no exception. She read it within an hour of getting it and has been drawing characters from the book all evening.

These are great books for 7-12 year olds! Impish (clean) humor and imagination, exhuberant energy. Dave is a master at engaging this age group...and bigger kids who wish Dave was publishing when we were in school... A step above Captain Underpants, the Dogman series are mirthful parodies of classic literature and media too many teachers render into bone dry tedious requirements. Every kid forced to sit in a chair for 8 hours every day (and their parents as well, lol) will appreciate these updated retellings and, when paired with the classics themselves, there’s a far higher likelihood the plot and “required” aspects will be remembered long after the books have been shelved. Humor works!
