Each sturdy hardcover volume is packed with bold comic-panel art, laugh-out-loud slapstick, and simple, supportive text that builds reading confidence. Loyal fans and first-time readers alike will enjoy following Dog Man, Chief, Petey, and the rest of the gang through three fresh, standalone escapades bursting with humor and heart.
About the Books
Dav Pilkey's Dog Man series is a modern classic of early graphic novel reading, and this three-book set collects three beloved later chapters. Dog Man began as a comic drawn by George Beard and Harold Hutchins, heroes of Pilkey's earlier Captain Underpants books, and that same irreverent energy runs through every page. Dog Man and his crew, including supervillain-turned-friend Petey the cat, his clone Li'l Petey, and steadfast Chief, face a colorful parade of oddball threats with equal parts courage and comedy. Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea sends the team into a briny, flea-flinging showdown. The Scarlet Shedder finds Dog Man's world turned upside down after a skunk encounter tests his loyalty. Big Jim Begins reveals how the team's unlikely alliance first formed, deepening the found-family bond fans love. Each book balances Pilkey's trademark flip-o-rama action sequences and gentle messages about kindness and teamwork, in a format built for eager rereading, making this sturdy hardcover trio a smart pick for home shelves or gift-giving.

Dog Man first appeared as a comic-within-a-comic created by Captain Underpants characters George and Harold before growing into its own smash-hit series.
