To no one's surprise, this is a very silly book. Lots of police cliches and far too many fish puns. It's a bit over the top and empty. Entertaining, perhaps, but with no depth.

This graphic novel is definitely aimed at the Dog Man crowd. Set in the ocean, it is full of silly puns, goofy jokes, and wild characters. The plot is all over the place, and the ending fell a little flat for me, but young readers will enjoy its wackiness.

Smith, the creator of the pun-filled Pea Bee and Jay and Giarrusso, artist of the Mini Marvels, team up for a Dog Man/Sponge Bob mash-up, complete with underwater hijinks, supervillains, and flavorful kelp cakes.

This was such a fun silly intro into a new series of graphic novels. The kids will love the puns (as did I) and have a great time following Officer Clawsome and his starfish partner on their crime stopping adventures!

Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop is a hilarious graphic novel for school-age kids. It will make a great comedy series for those that prefer a graphic novel to print books. Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop is, in my opinion, funnier than Dog Man and the story is easier to follow. I look forward to more Officer Clawsome books and will be recommending this title for purchase!

Officer Clawsome and his partner Stariana work hard to keep Caper Cove safe from criminals. When their favorite bakery goes missing, they are sent on a mission to find the kelpcakes shop and solve the mystery of its disappearance. Along the way, they run into criminals of all sorts and shenanigans ensue. Here's hoping this dynamic duo can beat the bad guys!

Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop is a hilarious graphic novel full of adventure. It will be well-liked by fans of Dog Man, Cat Ninja, and other action-packed & laugh-filled middle grade graphic novels. The jokes land well, the action is exciting, the writing is compelling enough to keep you hooked.

I'm excited to read more Officer Clawsome books in the near future!

Smitty's books are so fun and silly and definitely popular with kids. This new serious is a little goofier than his Pea, Bee, and Jay series and aimed at a lower middle grade audience. I think that this book would be a good fit for the Dog Man crowd and the art is pleasantly cartoony and fun.

This is a silly graphic novel about Officer Clawsome (a lobster) and Starianna (a starfish). In this story, besides fighting the bad guys, they pair must find out what happened to the very popular, Kelpy Kelpcakes. This is a silly graphic novel, full of puns and jokes. I can see that this will be a graphic novel that kids are going to enjoy!

This was really cute! I loved the banter between everyone throughout the book. If you a fan of puns then this book is totally for you! This would be great for middle grade readers and I think would make a fantastic addition to school and personal libraries.

This was a cute graphic novel about a crime fighting lobster Clawsome and his partner Starina a starfish and how they go around saving the day and rescuing all the people while causing the most damage as a result. There next case is the disappearance of bakery Kelpys Kelpcakes and the rumors of shark sightings around town the first in a hundred years. They rescue Kelpys Kelpcakes from the stomach of a giant robot shark which is the shark people where sighting around town. This was really cute and fun read and this is very much Dog Man meets Spongebob story.
