Doggy delights continue. Bak!
“In a dozen loosely linked chapters with titles like “The Bark Knight” and “Cat-ificial Intelligence,” sudden imaginary costume changes mark further high and low moments in Sophie’s ongoing relationships with an expanding cast of arrivals—from eloquent, if monosyllabic, toddler Doug (“Bak!”) to several shelter dogs fostered by the household’s humans. Along with borrowing characters and running themes from the original webcomic, these fresh episodes preserve both its sly brand of humor and solid-gold values on the way to a cozy closing snoozefest. . . “

Here’s Something Fun
“Here’s something fun. The creator of the popular webcomic Dog Eats Doug has come up with a new graphic novel series that definitely hits one as being on the younger end of the scale. It can’t come a minute too soon either. As any librarian will tell you, finding younger GNs is a challenge in and of itself. Each book in this series is based on a movie where Sophie is the hero. For doggie GN kids, this will be right up their alley..” —A Fuse #8 Production, Betsy Bird (School Library Journal)
