Review: Dog Eat Doug Book

The other day I received my copy of Dog eat Doug: It’s a Good Thing They’re Cute. Dog eat Doug is a web comic that is making a foothold into newspapers all over the US. Brian Anderson writes and draws the comic every day. He posts them to his blog at Dog eat Doug Comic. The book is a collection of comics from the very first year of Dog eat Doug. I’ve been a fan for a long time and have caught every strip. It should be your daily read and this book is certainly a great start to getting to know the strip.

Read to Me Dad Ratings

Story – Good – The story is one that parents can certainly relate to. Very enjoyable.
Re-Read-ability – Excellent – The humor and heart of this book is evident on every page. You will laugh with every read.
Illustrations – Excellent – Anderson has a very clean style to his artwork and it is so consistent too. The book is full color which is a big plus.
Message – The lighter side of being a parent to a puppy and a baby boy.
Plot – A puppy adjusts to life with a new baby in the house. The two, Sophie and Doug, have many household adventures.
Characters – Sophie and Doug are adorable and they are occasionally joined by other characters from time to time. The comic strip does mainly focus on Sophie and Doug.
Does Eva Like It – Eva is a little young for it now but I did show her pictures.
Recommended Ages – Probably 8 and Up, very family friendly.
