As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you click on the book title it will take you to the Amazon page to purchase the book. (So…elementary boys? Did I get the target audience right?) All of the books on this list will be right around the age group that likes to read Dog Man. In this list I simply share the grade level for if you’re looking for a specific age range. However, do not let reading level deter you from handing any of these books to your child! I have in the past argued that we need to ignore reading level completely, and look at appropriate and engaging content instead. Some are more difficult, like Calvin and Hobbes. ![]() Some are easier than Dog Man for example, the Narwhal and Jelly series. I’ll attempt to clarify what level each book is at. The graphic novels like Dog Man that I talk about on this list will all be at a slightly different reading level. ![]() For example, Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties has a Lexile measure of GN260L. (The GN just stands for graphic novel.) The other books in the series are around there, though most are lower. ![]() Dog Man books are technically a reading level P or Q, depending on which book in the series you look at.įor those who are looking for a more technical reading level measure, Dog Man (the first book in the series) has a Lexile measure of GN390L. But don’t hesitate to hand these books to girls, too, especially if they’re reluctant readers!ĭog Man is recommended for second grade and up, with the sweet spot of kids who love the series being second through fifth grade. There are lots of wonderful graphic novels with female protagonists, they just aren’t featured here. That seems to be the nature of graphic novels that are full of slap-stick comedy and written at this reading level. However, admittedly most of the titles on this list do have male protagonists. I do not believe in making books of “books for boys,” because that can be so alienating for those of us who didn’t read “girl books” growing up. All of these titles on this list can be read an enjoyed by either gender.If you’re handing it to your kid who likes Dog Man, make sure they know how your family feels about those words in your home. A few have, “dang.” If you are reading aloud these graphic novels like Dog Man, it’s easy to switch up. Most have “heck,” “stupid,” and “shut up” at least once. These are all secular titles, and do have some middle school language.That sort of content is ok in our home, but if it’s not in yours, that’s totally fine, just make sure to do a thorough preview before you hand the title to your child. Farting…lots of farting… Poop jokes are the norm. These are not highbrow books, and that is not just ok, it’s AWESOME. If you know anything about the genius of Dog Man by Dav Pilkey, then you should know it’s about captivating the reader’s attention through humor. If your elementary reader has gone through all of Dav Pilkey’s books, cackling up a storm, then it’s time to check out these other hysterical graphic novels! (Some of them also make great family read aloud books!) A Heads Up About Content that is in these Graphic Novels for Kids who Love Dog Man These graphic novels are like the fabulous Dog Man series: funny, irreverent, and a memorable animal main character.
