Hundemand: Forbrydelse og bjæf

Dog Man #9

by Dav Pilkey

Bog 9 i den superpopulære serie om Hundemand!

Hundemand er en glad hund - måske lidt for glad. Han kommer i hvert fald til at fornærme borgmesteren så meget, at han bliver fyret!

Både Chef og Hundemand er ulykkelige, indtil Pjevs finder på den geniale plan at forklæde Hundemand som ... Kattemand! Borgmesteren elsker Kattemand - men det er svært for Hundemand at opføre sig som en normal superheltekat, især når skurkene tror, at der er frit spil, nu da Hundemand er ude af spillet. Men det skal nok gå. Ikke?

Hvis man tror, at det går godt, så kender man ikke Hundemand, og så kan man roligt læse serien fra bind 1, og hvis man ved, at det aldrig vil gå godt, så er det bare at nyde det 9. bind i Hundemand-serien, for man bliver ikke skuffet!

Hundemand-bøgerne er tegnet i en sjov streg, historierne er humoristiske og med et kærligt budskab. Undervejs bliver læseren udsat for interaktive elementer, der gør læsningen anderledes og underholdende. Kort og godt en drømmeserie for læsere i alle aldre (uanset hvor god, man er til at læse).

Fra ca. 6 år.

Genres: Graphic Novels, Childrens, Fiction, Comics, Humor, Middle Grade, Animals

I like dog man soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

[Darla]

Bwa ha ha ha! This 9th chapter in the Dog Man adventures had me snorting and snickering. A few highlights: 1) The mayor has an "M" on his shirt. When there is a tussle with Dog Man over his hat -- the mayor keeps on wearing half a hat. 2) There is a fish school on the bank of the lake and they are studying adverbs. As the Munchy the lunch bag villain looms, they scatter with exclamations like "Run Quickly," "Jump High," and "Hide Surreptitiously." 3) When 80-HD needs to tell Petey and Catkid about the trouble Dog Man and friends are in, he presents a claymation production -- with all the slides in the book. "He could've just drawn a picture!" says Petey. See what I mean? Pick up this graphic novel and treat yourself to 200+ pages of Dog Man and friends, plus some high-brow literary references and drawing tips.

Dog Man: Grime and Punishment, apparently, the 9th book, in the series Dog Man, I read it because I was super bored, and I didn't really like it much.

The plot, was weird, I mean I get it it's children's book, but through every book, the plot get weirder and weirder, the whole concept does, it weird, like a lOT!

The characters, seem to evolve through every book, but seem do the opposite of evolve, I don't know that word for that. I don't get it, like why. Also the villain(s) of the book, always seems to get crazier, and like, why?, and the characters don't seem to be that smart, I know it's a children's book, BUT STILL!

I would've rated it higher if I was younger, I mean, I'm getting older, and this book, is just too childish for me now, but a few years ago, I would've enjoyed this a lot, and I used to read Dog Man a lot, but now, nope....

Anyways, I mean it wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't something I really liked either, and I probably won't read it again.

Grime and Punishment is full of laughs, tears, slobber, evil plans, and foiled evils plans! And—this is my favorite part—HUGE HEART! Pilkey slips important, heartfelt messages in between all the silliness. Like this one…

“Sometimes all you’ve got left is HATE!
I don’t know, Papa.
Hate has CAUSED a lot of problems in this world…but it hasn’t SOLVED one yet.”

I love that! Li’l Petey is the perfect little guy to talk to kids about loss, love, and forgiveness.

The Dog Man series has become one of my favorites. It’s simple, cute, and real. Dav Pilkey knows how to talk to readers and reluctant readers alike. This series is perfect for kids you have to bribe and beg to sit down and read. Dog Man will pull them in for sure!

Hope YOU read, listen, and smile.

My kids favourite books

[Rick Silva]

This is the most serious of the Dog Man books so far, with a surprisingly deep examination of loss and forgiveness as the story explores the relationship between Petey and his father.

Of course there's also a giant animated lunchbag destroying the city, a subplot about Dog Man being fired and returning to work in a cat disguise, and all of the usual silliness, but it's the quiet beauty of the ending pages that will stick with me.

The promotional pages at the end suggest that the author is moving on to a Cat Kid comic series. If so, then this was a lovely and satisfying conclusion to a series that really delivered far beyond its roots as a side joke in Captain Underpants.

I love Dog Man so much. This one is up there with Lord of the Fleas for my favorite in the series. I laughed out loud. I shared pictures of the pages with my coworkers. I cried at the end.

Listen, I wouldn't be surprised if I was secretly the leader of a Dog Man cult by this point. I will argue with adult patrons about the relative merits of the series. I have put a lot of time and effort into analyzing the books, and I could probably write an entire book-length academic thesis on Why Dog Man is Good. And I can't even find the words to express why Grime and Punishment hit me so hard. I probably need to sit with someone as they're reading it in order to point out everything that I thought was important, but it would more than likely turn into me saying "SEE? SEE?!??!? NOW DO YOU SEE?!???!" every time they turned the page. I'ma need more time to process this one.

Dog man gets fired by the mayor and Li'l Petey and 80-HD come up with a plan for the dog man to impersonate as a cat man. Meanwhile, Petey's father escapes from the jail again and spreads chaos on the town. Dog man impersonating as the cat man is sent undercover but he is exposed as the dog man and the mayor gets him and all the other cops and Sarah hatoff arrested as dog man's accomplices.

Li'l Petey, 80-HD and Petey help turn the tables and Flippy the fish also makes a cameo as a teaches to the tadpoles. Commander cupcake also shows up briefly.

This was my least enjoyed story in the series so far. The main reason was the dog man getting fired and impersonating as the cat man and to make it look okay to do such a thing. This author has a vast fan following among little kids and I don't think that's the best lesson there for them. Also, the story wasn't that great as compared to other books in the series.

Dav Pilkey is a gentle genius. His goofy text and sloppy style belie an ability to capture & hold a child's attention and send a meaningful message of strength, love and grace in every book of this series.

There's a teacher at my school who always says "No Dog Man!" to her kids. She's obviously never read his books. I love this series and will continue to "accidentally" give the books to her kids every chance I get.

Thanks, Dav, for bringing themes of redemption, compassion and forgiveness to a children's comic series. We're the bomb!

*Review from a child*

I like the pictures, and it was funny. The story is good, but I don't know where the Grandma was. I want to read more Dogman books.

I cried so hard that both of my eyes are now sore

[Glen]

A humorous story about Dog Man getting fired for being unhygenic, and putting on a cat head.

Kids should dig it.

[Myra]

Somewhat torn with this review. Read them during tutoring. The student loved them and couldn't get enough. His growing love of reading was a direct result of this series. I really didn't care for them (maybe because I am a female) but continued reading because they developed a love of reading for my 8 yr old male pupil and isn't that the reason for literature. We may not all have the same taste but we need to appreciate and respect other people's choices.

Dav Pilkey is a genius. I love his play on words and references to other literature. Actually, started pointing out some of his idioms used throughout the book. Loved Dog Man's positive outlook on life in the midst of trouble. Took me at least 4 previous books to see the "good side" of reading these books.

Keep it up

[Victor The Reader]

“GAP” is probably the best entry in the “Dog Man” series yet as we get a surprising story that centers on him going vigilant after he loses his job, Grampa Cat having a hulk-sized evil scheme and Petey attempting to be a good dad with dealing with his strained relationship with his father. Funny and even a bit emotional. A- (91%/Excellent)

I absolutely love how Dav Pilkey manages to change up the narrative of every Dog Man with a new and creative addition. Spoiler Alert: This one was after 80-HD made a clay model of what had happened to Dog Man and Chief (because that’s how he thought it would be easiest to explain to Li’l Petey and Petey 😂), then Pilkey changes the illustrative setting to still shots of a stop-motion film, complete with a paper-bag giant, of course. And it’s brilliant! Plus, this one offered one pearl of wisdom from Li’l Petey: “It’s your story, Papa. You can color it any way you want.” Very true, Li’l Petey. Very true. Thank you, Dav Pilkey for always putting smiles on your readers’ faces.

[Momento Elmetwaly]

it's a good book teaching kids that there is a punishment for every crime or should I say grime 🤣 Peteys family story is very sad I actually thought about and I almost cried because my pet bird just broke its wing yesterday so I am very sad wish him to become good and prayers are accepted his name is Zain.

This book is gonna be so so awesome

[Kevin]

I WANT TO READ ITTTTTTTTTTT

[Coleccionista de finales tristes]

Los cómics de hombre perro están dirigidos a niños sin embargo creo que gustarán a los adultos

Sobretodo a los adultos que gustan de Snoopy, Garfield, Mafalda, etcétera

Si bien estos cómics son más amigables que los ya mencionados también hacen guiños al lector adulto

He leído 3 cómics de este autor y todos me han gustado, se pueden leer en forma independiente sin embargo segura que se disfrutan más siguiendo el orden. Los he estado leyendo en desorden por la dificultad de conseguirlos y este que es el número 9 me ha hecho spoiler de alguno de los anteriores

Quítale el cómic a un niño y léelo 😂😅🤣😉

[Carter Mack]

Read this in one sitting because it was on Matthew Iturrino's counter. Peak literary fiction as usual. They should teach this in schools. Can't believe they based that lame ass book Crime and Punishment off this work of art. Every masterpiece has its cheap copy I guess. 10/10
