Pooches of Power! (DC Super-Pets)

The story is cute but maybe slightly older kids. My 3yr old was looking to see more pages of the super pets fighting bad guys.

Thus was the third time I've bought the book for a friend's child. I usually buy from the local comic book store but they hadn't restocked it. It's kid friendly fun. My 5 year old loves the books because of the use of pets as heroes. Very little kid appropriate with the good guys trumping at the end. The artwork by Art Baltazar is amazing and by the end my little guy is reading.

My daughter and I like the artist's work on Tiny Titans so we picked this up, and found it to be funny and entertaining. The two page spread of all the animal characters alone was worth the price of the book! I had to explain to her who the Terrific Whatsit is and why he looks like the golden age Flash! Great characters and a fun book!

My 4 year old (who is a very advanced reader) has been reading the DC Super-Pets series non-stop...and we love them. Great illustrations, cute story and not the typical potty humor in a lot of boy chapter books. We went out and bought ALL of them that were already published and looking forward to more! This one doesn't disappoint!

Little Super Hero loves Krypto the Superdog, and Ace the Bathound. After reading the Encyclopedia of Super Pets, this was the next progression. HIGHLY recommend these for kids who like pets and superheros, especially when Batman comics and cartoons are too violent or scary.

I had hoped it would follow a more traditional comic or graphic novel style in that the dialogue would be in word bubble form.

Reason for Reading: Ds read aloud to me for his reader.This new series "DC Super-Pets!" is a younger sibling to the already established "DC Super Heroes" series by the publisher. While the latter series is for established, and perhaps reluctant readers, this new series is for emergent or reluctant readers. All six books in the series are at a GR. 2 level with this one being at a RL:2.8. Following the same format as the established series, DC Super Pets uses colourful cartoon graphics for all the sound effect words. It goes on to make the books more appealing to younger readers by using different colours of text for each character's spoken words. There are also illustrations on every page, using a variety of formats from full-page to half-page to single illustrations amongst the text. This may sound crowded at first but the lines of text are double spaced creating a nice graphic display, easily read on each page.We've now read all six books in this new series. Ds asked if there were any more and I had to tell him this was all there was for now. He's really enjoyed reading this series and it has stretched his reading capabilities. In this book we meet-up with Batman's pooch Ace, he goes to investigate missing sardines from the marina. While there Krypto the Super-Pooch shows up and as a team they find The Penguin up to his usual tricks. Together they take on the villain and his sidekicks, a penguin, vulture and puffin. Another action-packed, superhero story and one of my son's favourites in the series, though his (and my) favourite of the bunch is still "Heroes of the High Seas". Fun book!

Wonderful illustrations in the books

Great

Thanks! Kids love dc super pets
