Dog Man: Big Jim Begins: A Graphic Novel (Dog Man #13): From the Creator of Captain Underpants

Great for kids and encourages reading. They love the whole series.

Another fun addition to the Dog Man series! The story is hilarious and engaging, and the illustrations keep kids interested the whole time. If your child already loves Dog Man, they’ll definitely enjoy this one too.

My daughter loves the dog man books. These are the last ones she has yet to Read. As you can see, they come in comic book style reading. They are funny, imaginative and easy to read. My daughter loves them! They are decently priced as well. They come with hard covers and heavy duty pages. Each book has roughly 220 pages. My daughter is 8 and they are excellent easy reading for a 3rd grader. Would recommend to anyone.

My children thoroughly enjoy these books. They frequently reread them. The illustrations are vibrant, and the content is engaging.

My 2nd grade granddaughter loved the Dog Man books. She was excited to receive this Big Jim book and immediately started reading it. She loves all the “extra”, fun things sprinkled throughout the book. Wonderful quality. Good price. Beautiful hard cover book. The graphics are great. The words are large enough for easy reading. The story is fun. This book really encourages reading. Perfect gift for a second grader.

Its a great novel for my kid which I really like it

Another year, another Dog Man book, and my kid was absolutely bouncing off the walls. Dav Pilkey is a master at this, and Big Jim Begins is no exception. The humor is spot on, the art is a total blast, and my kid tore through it in about an hour, which is always a win. The backstory for Big Jim is a really nice touch, and it adds some surprising heart to a character we've seen before. The positive messages about friendship and believing in yourself are also woven in really well, without feeling too preachy. My one small criticism is that, while the story is good, it feels like it's setting up the next book more than it is a standalone adventure. It leaves things on a bit of a cliffhanger, which is great for building anticipation but a little frustrating when you want a complete story in one sitting. It's a minor thing, but it's why it gets four stars instead of five. It's still a must-buy for any Dog Man fan, but just be prepared for the inevitable question: "When does the next one come out?!"

My son loves this new addition to the dogman series
