Cats and superpowers--that's all I needed to hear to know that I would love this book! Bright, colorful, and funny, my 11 year old loved it. Great job, John Gallagher!

After receiving his superpowers in the previous book, Max has become the Cat Crusader. Meanwhile, his alternate reality evil self and the Big Boss are determined to steal the world’s supply of donuts. To make matters worse, Max and Mindy keep getting blamed for the thefts. Can the duo defeat the Big Boss and Max’s evil self? Why do the two evil villains want the donuts? Fun, cute illustrations. The plot is adorable, entertaining, and fun. The characters are well developed. The illustrations and text work well together. Fans of Dog Man, HiLo, and other superhero graphic novels will want to pick this one up. Recommended for most library collections.

This graphic was so cute and fun! I loved the first one and this second does not disappoint. I love that Max's friend Mindi has more of a role in this one. It is great that she works past some of her issues and gains self confidence.

A fun adventure with Max and Mindy! Plus, donuts. What more do you need? Kids are going to love this one!

Max is just getting used to having his super powers. The villain looks like Max and wants to take the world's donut supply. Can Max and Mindy save the day with everyone thinking they are the bad guys?

This is like Dog Man for cat people. This book has everything my middle schoolers are looking for in a book. It is ridiculously fun. I love this series so much and told my local comic shop that they needed to order the entire series.

It is witty and perfect for students. The teacher in me loves that the larger vocabulary words are defined and the attention to detail. For example, on page 17 you see a giant penguin and you learn that there are people in the eyes controlling the it. If you go back to the first time you see the robot, what I thought were pupils in the eyes are actually penguin shaped people.

I could not stop laughing and will be buying both a copy for me and a copy for my classroom.

Max Meow Book 2: Donuts and Danger was read by my 10 year old. He loved it so much, "The story is wacky and great that the cat is the superhero. The kids' backstory is hilarious and I loved the penguin thieves. The book was all around funny and I really liked it!"

Max Meow is a fun but silly story about a cat who becomes a superhero. The story is set in a place where animals are like people and Max became a superhero in the first book. Although some of the back story about Max becoming a superhero is missed by not reading the first book, the second book could stand alone. Max Meow Book 2 reminds me of cartoon tv shows like Spongebob Square Pants or older graphic novels like Captian Underpants. I appreciated the diversity Max Meow Book 2 included by having a female villain and female side kick who may be more important than just a side kick. John Gallagher deals with human troubles like jealousy, loyalty, fear, bravery, and friendship well both through the story of the villain and the superheroes. Throw in an enlarging/shrinking gun and an alternate reality and you have a fun story about an evil squirrel and the superheroes who try to stop her from stealing donuts.
The colors and illustrations of the novel match the tone of the novel. As a graphic novel should the illustrations carry the story while also adding humor to the plot.
Each chapter ends with a question that prompts readers to predict what might happen and provide a great stopping point if the book were to be read over multiple days.

This book is perfect for young kids that want the adventure and fun and just everything. This author really puts a lot into his books. I just love the way the cat and friends help others and do things in the story to solve issues by being a hero. I love the illustrations , I just cannot say enough goodness about this book. It is adorable and I will sure be getting a couple copies for our library and a personal copy for my grandkids. This is the type of book that young kids need to read especially if they love comics and novels are still too much for them

Max Meow, Cat on the Street, is back again with his best friend and scientist Mindy. After having received superhero powers in the previous book he becomes the Cat Crusader and fights crime and defeats evil. In this book, Max must find a way to defeat both Big Boss (the most adorable evil squirrel you've ever seen), while also fighting his evil self from an alternate reality.

I think kids will really like this book for it's bright colors, funny characters, and uplifting story line. Adults will also like it because there are MANY references that would be too old for the intended readers, but still add to the fun of the book. There are also many puns, which I appreciated. I liked the questions at the end of the chapters as it gives the reader something to think about, but because it became a running gag instead of actually being answered, it lost appeal. Definitely something for your 3rd-5th grader who likes superheroes and thinks about becoming one themselves.

Also, Reggie is my favorite and I would like to be his friend.

This is an adorable book that will be good for fans of the Dog Man series of books.

The characters are funny and likeable, the action is entertaining and the story is simply fun!

These books are adorable and have so much heart. Max and his buddies are likeable and funny. Kids will love the colorful bold graphics.

Anyone who enjoyed Dog Man will enjoy this series. It wasn't laugh out loud funny but I know my students will find it amusing.

Fans of the first book, as well as books like Dog-Man, Investigators & HiLo, are going to be ecstatic to see Max & Mindy back at it again. This book is not my thing AT ALL, but kids love it. It has a great blend of over-the-top humor, ridiculous plot devices and strange characters-everything that makes a graphic novel beloved by kids.

For libraries: Definitely a great idea for purchase. You might not particularly enjoy it, but your kids certainly will.

I'm going to start by saying, I'm not the target audience for these books. Quite honestly, while I like a good graphic novel or comic book, my tastes run more towards Marvel superheroes. That said, these books will be hugely popular with my elementary students who love Dog Man or the Bad Guys series. These books mix humor and action in equal parts. I do love that the superheroes are not perfect and learn from their mistakes. I will definitely be ordering this series for my library.

Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A good book for those who like Dog Man and Captain Underpants, and Saturday morning hero cartoons. Brightly colored and on the humorous side, Max Meow is a great graphic novel for kids who like superheroes and zany villains, with lovable and memorable characters and adventures that are familiar, but with a twist.

If your readers like Captain Underpants and Super Chicken they will enjoy this series. Not bad, not great. Probably won’t read more than the first two.
