Dav Pilkey has basically won the literacy lottery. While some parents might roll their eyes at the toilet humor, the reality is that Dog Man gets books into the hands of kids who otherwise wouldn't touch them.
'Big Dog Squabble' (released as 'Big Jim Believes') hits all the familiar notes but adds a layer of depth regarding integrity and belief in oneself. It’s fast, funny, and fundamentally kind-hearted. If you have a kid in elementary school, this is a safe bet that will actually get read rather than just sitting on a shelf.
