Dog Man

By Dav Pilkey

The book that makes reading feel exactly as fun as watching a cartoon.

A police officer and a police dog are hurt in an explosion, so doctors sew the dog's head onto the officer's body — and the world's greatest crime-fighter is born. It is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds, and children adore it.

The comics format removes the wall of text entirely, a joke pays off on nearly every page, and a giant series waits behind it — often one of the surest first bets for a child who won't read.
