This was such a cute, action packed book with a great moral! I love Dog Man, Petey and Lil Petey!

[Suppi]

read this in 30 minutes without having read a single dogman book before it, and it still made me chuckle a few times, had a bit of a laugh, a gaff

[Charlie Ravioli]

Read the series with Jack in the latter half of 2022. Great, silly but still smart books.

[Cooper]

I loved this book so much I read it right when I had a chance to read it. This book was awsome

[Jojobooks Higgins]

Loved every second and as always I cracked up laughing!! The world needed this book this week! I’m a fan.

[Hamish Weston]

I’ve read 3 of the books in this series when I was younger and coming back to it now I found not as entertaining as it was when I was younger but it still was intriguing. Recommend if you like Pilkey. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

[Your Mom]

yes

[Tobin]

Really good for people who just wanna have a silly but fun story but they always save the day.

[Victor The Reader]

We see Dog Man being the chief’s funny wingman when he courts Nurse Lady on a few dates, while Petey continues to try to be a different cat for his son. It’s definitely not long until a certain little piggy creates a gigantic flea-ridden plot which will have DG and his super buddies set sail on the sea. A- (91%/Excellent)

[Laura]

I feel like while we absolutely love Captain Underpants in my family, that Dog Man is just better. Captain Underpants got confusing and less funny, but Dog Man continues to get funnier with each book while also being completely wholesome and incorporating some hilarious inside jokes for the parents.
Definitely a great purchase from the Book Fair.

[Bridgette Ellis]

My 9yr old said this one was really funny!

[Violet DiStaulo]

[Rachael Boyle]

Supa doopa fun!

[Sarah Anna]

Tanner picked the rating, but honestly, he’s right.

[Katie]

Redemption and the insidious nature of incendiary news that distracts from the real issues of the day. As usual, good job, Pilkey.

[Adrianne]

I LOVE DOG MAN

[Cheryl Babcock]

My grandson enjoyed this book. We have read the entire series together and this was one of our favorites!

[Adhidev Syamlal]

Good

[Eleanor Staebell]

I thought it was really fun. It was like a movie but I read it. I liked the drawings that you could flip back and forth.

[Henry Katz]

This is some of Dave’s best work. SO FUNNY!

[Leandra Klages]

I’m still reading it but i love Petey and dog man they look so detailed

[Beth]

I’m hooked. These are awesome. Totally repays me for the cookies.

[Hudson]

This book definitely had more plot than the others but it wasn't as funny or sad. Well, a little sad because no one wants to help Petey rebuild his lab because he's an ex-con. TBH the book comments on media and fear mongering. Like there weren't actually twenty thousand fleas under the sea, but the news outlet took a situation and blew it out of proportion.

[Liz]

fire as always :3 trying to get my book numbers up LOL

Zoals jullie al wel weten is zoonlief dol op alles wat Dav Pilkey maakt. Een Dog Man kan hier altijd op heel veel enthousiasme rekenen en dat ondertussen bij iedereen. Zowel grote als kleine zus willen ook zo snel mogelijk doorheen het boek bladeren en ontdekken wat Dog Man nu weer gaat doen. En ja, ik geef zonde problemen toe dat ik ook maar wat graag deze boeken bekijk en lees. In deze elfde!! Dog man ontsnapt superslechterik Biggie uit de gevangenis en krijgt ook nog eens een vliegende duikboot in handen. Kan hij hiermee al zijn gemene plannen uitvoeren? Of kunnen Dog Man en zijn vrienden deze crimineel met krulstaart op tijd tegenhouden? Een knotsgek avontuur met op het einde misschien wel het leukste aan de boeken, de hoe teken ik. Kinderboeken zijn zalig. Jong, oud, alleen, samen, kinderboeken kunnen altijd.

I have no regrets buying this book after my son saw it at Target and literally ran to the display with excitement. That is the reading life I want for him.

This book was by far the weakest of all the Dog Man books we’ve read so far. I did immensely enjoy singing the “Friendly Friends” songs and the super gross falling into a sweat gland after shrinking was perfection as far as elementary school humor goes. But the plot was a little less cohesive and the “moral” was kind of muddy. Clearly Pete and Lil Petey were less cute in this one.

[Brandon]

I am still surprised at how Dog Man has evolved from a series that I tolerated to read to my kids to a series where I eagerly read and enjoy them alongside my kids. We had a great time with this book. The Dog Man cast at this point is huge, and that just allows Pilkey to be even sillier with plot lines and character interactions. The plot wasn't necessarily memorable or that interesting, but I don't read Dog Man for plot. I read it for entertainment. And this book was very entertaining! We all loved it and will eagerly await the next installment.
