If you’re a parent, teacher, or anyone with a young reader in your life, chances are you’ve heard of Dog Man. This wildly popular series created by Dav Pilkey — the same genius behind Captain Underpants — has taken the children’s literary world by storm. Now, thanks to Scholastic, you can bring home the complete Dog Man Pack x10, a treasure trove of laughter, lessons, and lovable characters that has kids begging to read more.

It’s everything a young reader could ask for — adventure, humor, relatable themes, and quirky artwork — all neatly wrapped up in one impressive box set.
Why Kids (and Parents) Love the Dog Man Series
One of the most striking things about Dog Man is how effortlessly it captures a child’s imagination. The hand-drawn art style mimics what a kid might doodle in a notebook, making it approachable and inspiring for young artists. But the appeal goes far beyond the drawings.
Here are a few reasons why the Dog Man Pack x10 is flying off the shelves at Scholastic:
1. Relatable Characters
Whether it’s the brave but silly Dog Man, the mischievous Petey the Cat, or the adorable Lil’ Petey, kids see bits of themselves in these characters. Each character is flawed but growing — a powerful message for kids who are learning how to navigate their own emotions and decisions.
2. Laugh-Out-Loud Humor
Dav Pilkey has a gift for making kids laugh, and the Dog Man series is no exception. Fart jokes, silly names, and absurd scenarios abound. But the humor never talks down to kids; it respects their intelligence while keeping them entertained.
3. Positive Messages
Beneath the jokes and mayhem are themes of empathy, forgiveness, and perseverance. Each book in the Dog Man Pack x10 teaches a lesson without ever being preachy — a delicate balance that Scholastic has mastered.
4. Accessible Reading Style
The graphic novel format is ideal for reluctant readers. Short sentences, fun fonts, and dynamic illustrations make the series engaging for kids who might find traditional chapter books intimidating. The books are also a great confidence booster for early readers.
A Literacy Tool in Disguise
While it might look like just a fun comic book, the Dog Man Pack x10 is actually a fantastic literacy tool. Teachers and librarians around the world praise the series for encouraging a love of reading. Studies show that kids who read for pleasure are more likely to succeed academically — and nothing hooks kids like Dog Man.
Scholastic has long been a champion of children’s literacy, and the Dog Man Pack x10 is a testament to their mission. By making reading fun, they’re helping children build lifelong habits and skills.
Why Buy the Box Set?
Buying the full Dog Man Pack x10 instead of individual books has several advantages:
-
Value: It’s often more affordable to buy the set than to purchase each title separately.
-
Continuity: With all ten books in hand, kids can follow the story arcs without interruption.
-
Gift-Worthy: The box set makes an ideal present for birthdays, holidays, or back-to-school surprises.
Parents will also appreciate the quality of the packaging and the durability of the books. These aren’t throwaway comics — they’re designed to be cherished, re-read, and shared.
