About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the sting of being unfairly blamed or feels like they do not quite fit into the groups around them. While the format is a fast-paced, hilarious graphic novel, it serves as a surprisingly deep tool for discussing justice, integrity, and the loneliness of being caught between two worlds. It is an ideal choice for kids who may feel misunderstood by adults or peers. In this sixth installment, Dog Man is framed for a crime he did not commit and sent to the pound. As he struggles to find his place among 'real' dogs while missing his human life, his friends work tirelessly to prove his innocence. The story uses absurdist humor and comic action to explore high-stakes emotional themes like empathy and persistence. It is perfectly pitched for ages 7 to 10, offering a safe, funny space to process complex feelings about fairness and identity.
