What Dog Man and Cat Kid is about
A movie set is the backdrop for the fourth Dog Man adventure, and trouble arrives fast. A glamorous starlet has gone missing, and Dog Man, the hound with a nose for justice, is on the case. This time he has company: Cat Kid, a furry feline sidekick, joins him, while a new kitty sitter turns up and Petey, the World's Most Evil Cat, is never far from the action. Dav Pilkey, a worldwide bestselling author and artist, builds a story involving a mystery. Underneath the jokes run themes of kindness, empathy, persistence and being true to yourself. The series is described as one that readers of all ages enjoy, so it suits a child reading alone just as well as a family sharing it.
