What's next for Dog Man

  • Cat Kid Comic Club: A spin-off series by Dav Pilkey, set in the same world. Scholastic lists five books.
  • Dog Man Dynamite (due August 3, 2027): Scholastic calls it a new, interactive book, with a second title to follow in January 2028. It isn't numbered in the series.

Do you have to read Dog Man in order?

Start with book 1 and read them in number order. Each book has its own adventure, but the characters and the running jokes carry over from one book to the next, so a reader who goes in order gets more of the jokes. A child handed book 7 first will still follow it; they can go back for the early ones after.

What age is Dog Man for?

Seven and up is the publisher's age for the books, not a reading level. The story is told in comic panels with short speech bubbles, so many younger children enjoy Dog Man read aloud, and plenty of 10- and 11-year-olds still reread it. Peabody's own lists put it at about 6 to 10. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.

What's it like inside Dog Man?

  • Length: Book 1 has 240 pages.
  • Feels: Funny, exciting.

About book 1. The page count is from openlibrary.org; the rest is Peabody's own note, never a score.
