Dog Man: Unleashed

Reach for this book when your child views reading as a chore or struggles with traditional text-heavy stories. It is the perfect antidote for the 'reluctant reader' who needs high-octane visual stimulation and physical humor to stay engaged. While the premise of a half-dog, half-man police officer is intentionally silly, the book subtly explores the tension between our impulses and our responsibilities. In this installment, Dog Man faces off against a Flat Petey and a giant robotic brontosaurus while trying to be a 'good boy.' The story celebrates creativity and the idea that even if you are different or make mistakes, you can still be a hero. It is an ideal choice for children aged 7 to 10 who enjoy slapstick comedy and fast-paced action. Parents choose this series because it builds reading stamina through the accessible graphic novel format and foster a genuine love of books.
