Bought this for the Kiddo at his school's book fair here in Shanghai.Title: Dog Man Unleashed
Publisher: Scholastic

This is a Captain Underpants spinoff, presenting the comic book hero originally drawn by the main characters in the Captain Underpants comics.
Dog Man, a cop with a dog's head and a man's body (and maybe a fourth of the brains of each) battles crime, feline crime mostly, all while trying to celebrate the Chief's birthday and attempting to remember not to get the Chief a dead fish as a present.
This all leads to a saga involving multiple villains and the expected amount of mayhem.
Lots of goofy slapstick and dog puns, but props for including both Dr. Seuss and Charles Dickens references.
The Kiddo and I both got a lot of laughs out of this one.
Rating: 8/10
