To separate the age range for my kid’s choices, I’ll be classifying them by name. Carter is in 3rd grade. He’s an athlete at heart, very active, and a reluctant reader. Books found under his name are great choices to start pulling kids into reading.
Here’s his current favorite…
Dog Man
Author: Dav Pilkey
I know that the Captain Underpants series is big for boys in Carter’s age range and, honestly, I didn’t realize that the Dog Man series is by the same author. Pilkey does great work here in a comic style format. Carter will actually sit and tell me about the story, the hero and the villains he likes. He’s a fan of superheroes and he grabs Dog Man for his reading homework every night.
The blurb from Scholastic reads:
“New from the creator of Captain Underpants, it’s Dog Man, the crime-biting canine who is part dog, part man, and ALL HERO! George and Harold have created a new hero who digs into deception, claws after crooks, and rolls over robbers. When Greg the police dog and his cop companion are injured on the job, a life-saving surgery changes the course of history, and Dog Man is born. With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound has a real nose for justice. But can he resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty?”
Check it out and let me know what you think!
