Description
Howl with laughter with Dog Man, the internationally bestselling series from Dav Pilkey, the creator of Captain Underpants!
Dog Man is the crime-biting canine who is part dog, part man, and ALL HERO! This three-book boxed set includes the first, second, and third books in the Dog Man series: Dog Man, Dog Man Unleashed, and Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties.
Dav Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of being true to one's self.
While the sentence structure is simple and concise, Pilkey displays a sense of sophistication, including clever puns and wordplay, as well as a clear mastery of sequential art, making this an ideal option for both reluctant and more advanced readers.

Starred Review
Readers (of any age) will be giggling from start to finish.
ALA/Booklist
Pilkey... has again fired an arrow of joy straight at the fevered childhood psyche of millions of readers. An utter, unfettered delight.
When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
Cuando Dav Pilkey era niño, le diagnosticaron TDAH y dislexia. Dav era tan disruptivo en clase que sus maestros lo hacían sentarse en el pasillo todos los días. Por suerte, a Dav le encantaba dibujar e inventar historias. Pasaba su tiempo en el pasillo creando sus propios cómics originales: las primeras aventuras de Hombre Perro y el Capitán Calzoncillos. En segundo grado, la maestra de Dav rompió sus cómics y le dijo que no podía pasar el resto de su vida haciendo libros tontos. Afortunadamente, Dav no era muy bueno escuchando.
