Why Dog Man (and Other Graphic Novels) Are a Secret Gateway to Reading
When our son first discovered Dog Man, we assumed it was just goofy drawings and immature jokes. But tucked inside all that silliness were clever bits of writing, genuinely funny plots, and characters he couldn’t resist. Something surprising happened—he couldn’t put it down. By the time he was seven, he was completely hooked. We ended up collecting every book in the series, and even now, as he heads toward nine, he still loves them and rereads them often.
