Hi! Before you read this review, you may want to read “ How to Teach with Comics”, for a basic foundation on why comic books and graphic novels are an effective teaching tool. I read this with my friend’s 6 year-old son, and he was transfixed the entire time (a marked accomplishment given his limited attention span). There’s even a mystery villain! If you’re familiar with Captain Underpants, you won’t be surprised that this book is full of sight gags and harmless jokes. His crime-fighting adventures are punctuated with distractions in the form of giant bones, odd smells, and his nemesis, Petey the cat, who is being framed by his (even more evil) double, Paper Petey. Essentially a spin-off of the popular Captain Underpants series, this is the second installment in the series of stories starring Dog Man, the most drooling (and least focused) member of his police force.
