“Oh boy, this is gonna be great!”

The Book Fairies have been busy sharing copies of DOG MAN by Dav Pilkey to celebrate the new FILM out on Friday!

Who will be lucky enough to spot one? Are you going to see the film?

About the book:

Howl with laughter with the FIRST book in the hilarious full-colour illustrated series, Dog Man, from the creator of Captain Underpants! George and Harold (the co-stars of the enormously popular Captain Underpants series) are in big trouble again! George and Harold have created a new breed of justice — one that is part dog, part man, and ALL HERO! With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound digs into deception, claws after crooks, rolls over robbers, and scampers after squirrels. Will he be able to resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty? Dav Pilkey’s wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of being true to one’s self. Full colour pages throughout.

About the Universal Pictures film:

When a police officer and his faithful police dog get injured in the line of duty, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together — and Dog Man is born. As Dog Man learns to embrace his new identity, he must stop feline supervillain Petey the Cat from cloning himself and going on a crime spree.

Happy finders!

We are always delighted to hear from those lucky souls who find a book left behind by a book fairy! Here are a few of our favourite photographs from today!

Get your hands on a copy!

If you didn’t spot a book hiding near you today, you can still grab a copy (or the whole series!) from your local bookshop. If you prefer to order your books online, head to Bookshop.org to buy Dog Man and still support independent bookshops!
