Overview
This two-book hardcover bundle brings together Dog Man #11: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea and Dog Man #12: The Scarlet Shedder, two fast-paced entries in Dav Pilkey's wildly popular graphic novel series. Piggy's schemes, underwater chaos, and a skunk-related color catastrophe keep the laughs coming as Dog Man and his supporting cast tackle new villains threatening the city. Told in short chapters with oversized comic-style illustrations, both stories are built for quick, engaging reading sessions. Perfect for young readers who love comics, silly humor, and action-packed superhero adventures with genuine heart.

About the Books
Dog Man #11: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea sends the half-dog, half-cop hero into a diabolical new plot cooked up by Piggy, with new villains surfacing from unexpected places and the Supa Buddies scrambling to protect the city. Packed with a brand-new song sequence, a monstrous Mighty Mite, and Dav Pilkey's signature blend of flip-o-rama action and slapstick comedy, the story keeps young readers flipping pages fast. Dog Man #12: The Scarlet Shedder follows immediately after, opening with Dog Man getting sprayed by a skunk and, after a tomato juice bath meant to fix the smell, left with a permanent scarlet-red coat. Exiled by the very citizens he once protected, Dog Man must find a way to prove his worth again, while Petey the cat is reluctantly pulled back into old habits and Big Jim and the gang join the fight against a new threat to the city. Both books continue Dav Pilkey's trademark mix of comic-strip panels, big emotional moments, and laugh-out-loud gags that have made the Dog Man series a favorite in classrooms and living rooms alike. Told through short chapters, oversized illustrations, and simple vocabulary, these graphic novels are built for reluctant readers and comic fans alike, rewarding repeat reads with hidden jokes and callbacks to earlier books in the series. Fans following the Dog Man series in numerical order will find both stories slot neatly into the larger ongoing saga, continuing character arcs and running jokes established across the earlier books.
