What does the Pageticker team say about Dog Man - Fetch-22?

We love the lively mix of comic-book action, silly jokes and genuine warmth in this eighth Dog Man adventure with a Catchy name. Petey’s attempt at a fresh start and Li’l Petey’s struggle to stay hopeful give the story thoughtful themes about empathy, forgiveness and teamwork without slowing down the fun. It is a strong choice for children aged 6–10, especially fans of graphic novels and reluctant readers, though some slapstick peril and chaotic humour may not suit every child.
