Our canine superhero returns in DOG MAN: THE SCARLET SHEDDER, the suspenseful and hilarious twelfth graphic novel in the #1 worldwide bestselling series by award-winning author and illustrator Dav Pilkey!

P.U.! Dog Man got sprayed by a skunk! After being dunked in tomato juice, the stink is gone but the scarlet red color remains. Now exiled, this spunky superhero must struggle to save the citizens who shunned him! Will the ends justify the means for Petey, who's reluctantly pulled back into a life of crime in order to help Dog Man? And who will step forward when an all-new, never-before-seen villain unleashes an army of A.I. robots?

The fun and creativity continue with Dog Man with Love: The Official Coloring Book. And for more heartfelt graphic novel adventures, join Flippy and Li'l Petey in the Cat Kid Comic Club series. And don't forget the series that started it all: Captain Underpants!

About the Author

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.

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 college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

My 9-year-old grandson loves all the Dog Man books. He learns a lot from them, too, even though they are graphic novels. They’re great reading motivators and he rereads them over and over again.

My daughter and I had a blast reading 'Dog Man: The Scarlet Shedder'! It's packed with action and hilarious moments that had us both laughing out loud. It's a perfect choice for kids (and adults) who love adventure and humor! We also appreciate how every Dog Man book in the series teaches valuable life lessons and morals. It was a truly great read that we'd recommend to anyone!

I am happy he is excited to read!! The books are pretty simple, entertaining, and use a lot of site-words.

I prefer it much more to "captain underpants" of my youth. If you're child is asking about Dog-man, fulfill their desires because the series is awesome and affordable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dav Pilkey does it Again!
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024

Not sure who was more excited for this release, my 7 year old or me. The Dog Man series is all we read anymore at bedtime and this one had us both cracking up and cheering for the Supa Buddies! He can read most of it himself apart from the occasional "big words" that give him practice sounding things out. If you can deal with the potty humor there are always sweet, touching, nearly heartbreaking moments peppered into these stories. Lil' Petey is a saint and I think he's a great role model for children despite making up songs about diarrhea, as funny as they can be.

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

My 4th grade son absolutely loves all of these books, so much so, that as soon as he finds out a new one is coming out we purchase it. It’s below his reading requirements for school, so these are purely for enjoyment and he finishes the books the same day he gets them. I love that he enjoys them so much and they allow his imagination to play out.

My grandson, age 8, loves these books and wants to collect all of the series. I keep telling him, one book at a time! I am buying this series for him, and they will be for the physical book. I mean look at the Kindle price and the hardcover price. Might as well get the Hardcover for that price and save the series.
