Insanely funny and beyond clever. I grew up on Mad Magazine and Mr. Anderson's books are very, very funny and zany with lots of parodys of classic literature and/or movies. I've seen some compare him to Calvin and Hobbes, but I think the Mad Magazine is a better reference. This book is very funny, relaxing, zany, and I loved all of it. I especially enjoyed the last chapter, a take off on Alice in Wonderland, since I love the original. So, combine Mad Magazine and Calvin and Hobbes and give it the Brian Anderson treatment and laugh your tushy off!

SOPHIE: FRANKENSTEIN’S HOUND follows the continuing adventures of pup Sophie and her baby brother Doug. Just when Sophie has started to adjust to sharing her life with Doug and a pair of questionable cats, her parents surprise her with a rotating array of foster puppies. In Sophie style, she greets the arrivals with a series of creative adventures based on classic themes and tales. Humor and heart continue to be front and center in the book’s engaging episodic comic panels.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sharing an eARC of the book with me.

A delightful second story collection to the new Sophie graphic novels. This time, Sophie's world changes again as Mom and Dad decide they are going to foster puppies. Sophie is put in charge of making sure these puppies know how to puppy, but instead, they lead her and Doug off to bigger adventures. Whether it is out into space, a mysterious castle, or ancient Japan Sophie spends her time caring for those around her and trying her best to be a good dog. The cats also do not help as they continue their trek to take over the world, which often backfires. Sophie's biggest struggle is wanting her own space, but also wanting to be with her family. This is a delightful series and I hope to see more of Sophie in the future.

To call this a graphic novel is a little misleading. It is a series of shorter tales. They are all cute and funny. The way that Anderson captures the innocence of babies and dogs is captivating. He has a way of looking at the world through these characters that just speaks to me. This is a book to read and enjoy.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun and cute book. Kids will love this book and will be really entertained by this story.

This was such an adorable graphic novel for kids. Some great lessons are wrapped up in this. I recommend.

What did I just read. Very silly, thank you for the ARC Netgalley. It was hard keeping my 3yo attention. This one is better for a kiddo that likes comic books perhaps
