Dog Man is a comic series, showing the adventures of Dog Man. They are books that are super fun to read, with lots of laughs. Readers of all ages, especially younger readers will absolutely love this series. It is extremely kid friendly. Even when reading it as a teenager, I still have so much fun with it! I would definitely recommend this for ages 6+, as those are the ages that will enjoy this the most, and without hesitation - 5 Stars.
This series shows Dog Man hunting down a robotic fish, becoming friends with the clone of his rival, and so much more. He also has to work with the Chief of the police station that he works in. He also manages to work with his rival to defeat their enemy.
Some series that you might like if you liked this would be The Land of Stories and Geronimo Stilton.

Common Questions About Dog Man Series
What age is Dog Man appropriate for?
Dog Man is recommended for ages 6-8 (Grades 1st-3rd). These books are just so much fun — they're extremely kid friendly and full of laughs on every page. It's a great first comic-style chapter book for early readers, and a natural next step for kids who loved Captain Underpants. Even older kids and teenagers enjoy them.
What order should I read Dog Man?
Start with Dog Man (2016), then Dog Man Unleashed, A Tale of Two Kitties, Dog Man and Cat Kid, and Lord of the Fleas — that covers the first 5 that BookVine reviews. There are 12+ books total and counting, so your kid won't run out. The story of Petey the cat develops across the series, so reading in order is way more fun.
Is Dog Man good for reluctant readers?
Dog Man is amazing for reluctant readers ages 5-8. The graphic novel format with flip-o-rama pages makes it feel like entertainment, not homework. Kids who won't pick up a regular chapter book will read these over and over. If your kid loves Dog Man, check out Captain Underpants (same author) and Geronimo Stilton on BookVine.
Is there a Dog Man movie?
Yes, a Dog Man animated film came out in 2025, based on the first book. It's fun, but the books have way more content and humor across the whole series. I'd recommend the books first — there's just so much more to enjoy.
Dog Man Series is recommended for ages 6 - 8 (Grades 1st - 3rd) with Lexile scores ranging from 320L to 390L.
