Molly is a Hero

A parent might reach for this book when their child is a reluctant reader or needs a book that feels like pure fun, not like homework. The Dog Man series is a gateway to a love of reading for many kids, especially those who prefer visual storytelling and laugh-out-loud humor. The story follows Dog Man, a police officer with the head of a dog and the body of a man, as he fights crime with goofy earnestness. The books are packed with action, friendship, and silliness, but also touch on themes of justice, teamwork, and redemption. Perfect for ages 6 to 10, its graphic novel format and simple text build reading confidence, while the humor keeps them eagerly turning pages.
