There are worse bad guys than Petey out there plotting crimes: Piggy, Crunky, and Bub, the size of insects after their defeat in Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas, use a shrink ray gun to miniaturize an abandoned robot of Petey's. Can Petey ever learn to be a proper role model for Li'l Petey? In Cat Jail, Petey puts the finishing touches on a gigantic bee robot he's building to enable his next escape, but he has second thoughts when Li'l Petey visits. Dog Man chews up the enclosed tickets before realizing their value, but Yolay comes through by sending another twenty tickets for the red-carpet event. In chapter one, Chief receives a written invitation from Italian actress Yolay Caprese to the Dog Man movie premiere.

Yep, I'm hooked on this one.Īfter riffing on Charles Dickens, John Steinbeck, and William Golding in previous Dog Man books, what would Dav Pilkey come up with for Jack London? Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild continues the story of Dog Man's neverending pursuit of justice, as well as Petey the cat's struggle with his own villainous nature. I find Dog Man, Little Petey, HD-80, and the Captain all completely endearing. I've now read all six books and can't wait for the next one. Ah, but then I tried Dog Man by the same author as The Adventures of Captain Underpants and I have to say I love this series. What's not to love? One was enough for me though. Next I tried The Adventures of Captain Underpants and it definitely makes sense why so many boys like these books. Yeah okay, kinda funny, but not really my jam, but I understand why this is a popular series. So, I read The Bad Guys: Episode 1 and also The Bad Guys: Episode 2: Mission Unpluckable. They aren't books that I would normally choose when I read middle grade books, and I read a lot of them. Why? Well, because in every 3rd-5th grade classroom I'm in, more than half of the students have one or more of these books on their desk.

I decided that I wanted to read some of the books that so many of the students that I work with are reading. For the last few weeks I've been on a binge.
