Dog Man

You'll enjoy these titles because: Dav Pilkey has created a bunch of readers out there with not only Dog Man, but Captain Underpants and his Cat Kid Comic series. If your young reader is head over heels for Dog Man, we have gathered a few titles - both graphic novels and novels - to try. We picked them because they have certain features or a combination of features that Pilkey fans might enjoy such as: humor, adventure, action, characters with imagination or superpowers and/or engaging plot. #IndyPLKids January 2025
