I have to preface this by saying I have read all of the dog man books to my son (6). He has recently been dealing with some older kids being mean to him and we have been working with him on being the better person but setting boundaries.

This book hit like a freight truck with everything he has been going through. We read this entire book together in 1 sitting. Then sat down and talked about lessons from it and how it can be applied for real life.

These dog man books have never disappointed but this came at the right time for a 6 year old boy.

Meanwhile the story is…. Meanwhile funny and full of… Meanwhile dog man is go….

Dog Man has been a massive part of my life ever since I was a small child. From discovering it back in elementary school, to regaining a massive interest in it only a few years back in 2024 and that interest staying with me all the way up until now. I lost some interest in it back in summer of 2025 but when this book was announced it came right back to me. Especially because PETEY IS BACK AFTER LIKE 3 YEARS!!! As Petey's biggest fan, I was extremely happy to see him back after his absence in the last 2 books. (where was he???) Anyway, overall an amazing book and this series will always have a special place in my heart.

I may have lost the plot within all the subplots at times but once again the messaging is spot on!! Loved it all!

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well that was fun. It only had one fart joke in it, which is a departure from at least half of the usual humor in these books. I really enjoy this series and how it covers topics like technology use and taking responsibility for our actions. Lots of good lessons hidden in a lot of humor.

Dav knows we’ve kinda lost the plot, and I know we’ve kinda lost the plot, but I’m here for it!

Hold onto your cape, because the Supa Buddies are officially back! 🐶⚡️

If you thought the Dog Man series couldn't get any wilder, prepare to have your mind blown.

In this epic new chapter, our favorite anti-hero, Grandpa, accidentally or maybe not so accidentally 😉 alters the very fabric of time and space! The chaos that ensues is peak Pilkey: laugh-out-loud funny, visually hilarious, and packed with so much heart. What I love most about this book and this series as a whole is how it sneaks big, beautiful lessons into a high-energy comic adventure. Between the flip-o-ramas and time-bending antics, A Sprinkle tackles a really sweet question: can dark or challenging times actually be the soil that helps us grow, bloom, and become the change we want to see in the world? 🌸✨

It’s fast-paced, completely silly, and surprisingly heartwarming. Whether you’re reading it with your kids or you’re just a kid at heart who loves graphic novels, this one is an absolute must-read! 📚🎨

A HUGE thank you to StoryGram Tours, Graphix, and Dav Pilkey for sharing a copy of Dog Man: A Sprinkle with me! 🙏❤️

not enough story

For young readers who read the earlier books in this series the last 2 books have been extremely bad and with little to nothing getting done in the 5 plot lines every book young readers might find it hard or confusing to keep track of every story line that is going on all at the same time

[Jacob Hussain · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

The plum blossom opens in the frozen snow. The nightingale sings when the world is fast asleep. Even the little firefly fluttering in the darkness carries its own light. They do not wait for the world to change. They ARE the change. They are the bringers of hope.

[Noelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dog Man books are always fun to read. This installment is no exception.

I will say though, the “morals” and “good lessons” of the story felt much more pronounced than in the other books. Ultimately, I think Pilkey needs to wrap up this series soon and start something new.

[Noah Garwood]

I haven't read the book yet(or the less couple since dog Man fell up once I got older) but I love that the names are from books!

The 10 year old who read this to me gives it 5 stars, which should count for more than my 4 stars :)

Another hilarious work by Dav Pilkey. I thoroughly enjoy reading these with my kids. Fun for the whole family.

Too depressing

[Jake Willems · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was all action and crescendo with no real plot.

Super funny like always I love the series

[Jami · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I was a kid, I tried to read A Wrinkle in Time, & got a little lost. This Dog Man story may be hard for younger readers to follow, too?

[Austin Van Sloten · Rating 5 out of 5]

Its so good

I loved everything it was the best book they made I love the idea of the last three books but this one is the best

[Kasi · Rating 4 out of 5]
