Max Meow and his sidekick Science Kitty are likable graphic novel heroes in the same vein as Dog Man-order in the series doesn’t matter, boldly colored panels, dialogue and illustration-driven, comic superheroes, and ridiculous scenarios that will make kids laugh. In this case, Max and Kitty’s evil twins are trying to steal all the donuts in town and they are the only ones who can stop their dastardly deeds. Chapters end with big questions like cartoons of old (“What will our intrepid heroes do next” type) that will spur thinking and led readers onto the next chapter. Text is free of profanity and sexual content and the violence is limited to goofy and bloodless battles between heroes and villains. When books like Pilkey’s Dog Man, Captain Underpants and Krosoczka’s Lunch Lady fly off the bookshelves, Max Meow is another choice for that library’s readers.

This is a fun and enjoyable read for animal lovers as well as those looking for a good graphic novel. Kids, and adults, too, will love the colorful illustrations and the antics of Max and his fellow crime fighters and enemies. This is the second book in the series. Don’t sleep on it! Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

My 7 year old son really likes this series! He has started to read to ME more and he asked to read this book to me. That makes me so happy. He thought this book and the other book in the series were great and can't wait to read more. He says "two thumbs up!"

My Review: I read the first graphic novel in the Max Meow series and really enjoyed it and could see where young readers would love it. This time around I was anxious to not only read it but to also share it with my son, he is a huge Dog Man and InvestiGators fan. I really enjoyed this one, maybe even more than the first. It is a fun action story with super heroes, a mystery thrown in and (yes this is the parent in me) some really great lessons too! My son did not want to put this one down and neither did I, we both finished it within 2 days and are so excited for another one to come out!

My Rating: This is definitely a great book to add to young readers shelves, the art style is bright and bold with fun details. Reluctant readers and avid readers alike will enjoy it. Both Munchkin and I give it a rating of Four Paws and can't wait for the next book!

Juvenile graphic novels are very popular at my library. We will purchase this title. It will be a good book to suggest to the many fans of DogMan.

It probably would have helped if I had read the first Max Meow book, but either way this wasn't one of my favorite elementary leveled graphic novels. The characters and illustrations are fine but the story seems a little tired. Almost like a rehashing of Dog Man but with a cat main character and his human sidekick. I know I'll have some students who will probably love this so I'll still be sure to add this series to our graphic novel collection.

Another great volume in this funny, fantastic series! Max means well but always gets himself into trouble, and his friend Mindy often comes to his aid. This is a great story for younger readers, and definitely for fans of Cat Club or Dog Man.

I will be recommending this to my Dog Man fans when they have read that whole series, highly recommended.

This book is great to engage reluctant readers. It had humor and action that entertains the kids reading it.

Pretty standard elementary school superhero stuff. A kid who is still figuring out how to be a hero, who needs to learn to think ahead instead of jumping into things. This one is a bit more interesting than the first since we have Mindy with the opposite trouble. She can't stop overthinking. She's so busy calculating angles and worrying about making the wrong choice that she does not act. She has to be willing to make mistakes. ANd we also see characters able to turn things around, the idea that there's no such thing as too deep, too late to change things.

I had a lot of fun reading this graphic novel. A new enemy revealed themselves and had a dastardly plan in mind. Just when it began to move along, a portal opened up and two mysterious beings came out. When Max and Mindy start getting blamed for odd things happening around town, they run into some truly evil foes. Taking them down will not be as easy as Max hopes it might be. As this adventure comes to an end it looks like a new threat is on its way to this simple city.

Thanks to NetGalley & Random House Children's for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

This follows a superhero cat and his scientist sidekick when they foil supervillains' weird plans involving donuts.

A weird nitpick, but I really didn't like the font used for the speech bubbles. Perhaps this is because it's an early copy or something, but it felt really off and didn't belong somehow. I hope they smooth it out in the final copy.

Fans of Dog Man will certainly adore this crime-fighting cat series!

I received an electronic ARC from Random House Books for Young Readers through NetGalley.
Max and Mindy are back in a new adventure to save their town. This time the Big Boss teams up with a surprise visitor from another universe. The Catinator is the opposite from the Cat Crusader and works with a sidekick called the Iron Cat (Mandy). They use Mindy's new invention and take over the donut market. In the end, despite double crosses and impossible battles, the Cat Crusader and Science Kitty save the day.
Plenty of humor or middle grade readers. The plot will appeal to their sense of the ridiculous and the artwork bring the story to life.

Max Meow is back in another adventure with his sidekick Mindy the scientist. This book brings Big Boss together with two new bad guys, evil versions of Max and Mindy.

Overall, the series is cute. Short, manageable chapters that all end with cliff-hangers so the kids want to keep reading. My boys are 6 and 8. They really enjoyed it. If your child likes Dog Man or InvestiGators, they will like this.

Thank you Netgalley for my gifted copy. My daughter rated this book a 5. She is obsessed with cats and graphic novels and loves quirky books like this one.

My boys adore cats and graphic novels and loved the first book. They were thrilled to read this book and demanded it. Both said it is funny and exciting. They like the art and the humor. I like the representation and the fact it gets kids reading.

A hysterical follow up to the previous title in this series. A great read alike for fans of Dog Man.

My kids are big fans of Max Meow, and this sequel did not disappoint. Another fun graphic novel for the younger readers with captivating art. We will be adding this to our hard copy collection as soon as it’s available!

Thanks NetGalley for access to this ARC! "Max Meow Book 2: Donuts and Danger," is a wonderful continuation to the series. Full of colorful and entertaining illustrations in this graphic novel style, will keep readers of all ages flipping the pages. Hope to see more of this series in the future!

Fans of Hilo and Dog Man, there's a new cat in town.... and it isn't the Cat Crusader.

A portal is opened and a multiverse lets an evil pair into the world who join forces with Big Boss. Everyone believes the pair to be the Cat Crusader and Mindy, but how is that possible? The two of them are filming another episode of Max Meow?

Things get even more confusing when another Big Boss shows up, but is good, not evil?

Will Max and Mindy be able to put the world right? Is Big Boss turning over a new leaf?

A funny, adventurous early graphic novel that will have kids and adults of all ages laughing and guessing what will happen next.
