Description
“Sophie is the perfect mix of heart, humor, and hilarity!" - Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate
From the creator the much-loved webcomic, “Dog Eat Doug,” Sophie is a hilarious new graphic novel series, a sendup of family life from the perspective of one snarky dog who wants nothing more than to have everything—without ever having to share.
Life is good when you’re a dog and you have humans all to yourself. But what about when a new baby enters the picture . . . along with a couple of cats intent on taking over the world?
Full of mini adventures, pop culture spoofs, sharp jokes, adorable illustrations, and a sneaky dose of heart, Jurassic Bark and Frankenstein's Hound are the perfect introduction to these characters and their world. Just right for the pet-obsessed among us no matter the age, while simultaneously appealing to the kids who love to giggle at Big Nate, Dog Man, Garfield, and Snoopy.
A Note From the Publisher
- Kid-friendly stories by a syndicated comic artist about an adventurous dog, a human baby, two constantly plotting cats, “wise” squirrels, and a herd of guest characters including foster puppies, a dinosaur, yeti, talking cupcakes, and monsters.
- Charming art and dynamic panels make reading irresistible for reluctant readers.
Advance Praise
"Fun, funny, and likely to draw new fans to the dynamic duo...and broad humor is reminiscent of “Calvin and Hobbes,” there’s plenty of snuggling and dancing to give the hijinks a cozily domestic tone all their own.” — Kirkus Reviews
“. . .harkens back to those heady days of Calvin and Hobbes” — School Library Journal
“Sophie is the perfect mix of heart, humor, and hilarity!" —Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate
“Here’s something fun. The creator of the popular webcomic Dog Eats Doug has come up with a new graphic novel series that definitely hits one as being on the younger end of the scale. It can’t come a minute too soon either. As any librarian will tell you, finding younger GNs is a challenge in and of itself. Each book in this series is based on a movie where Sophie is the hero. For doggie GN kids, this will be right up their alley.” —A Fuse #8 Production, Betsy Bird (School Library Journal)

This is an adorable graphic novel about Sophie, a young chocolate lab, and Doug, her new human brother. Sophie worries that Doug is here to replace her and through many antics develop an agreement and a bond. Then, two cats show up, and it's only going to become more chaotic in the next book. A very funny and colorful book and I'm excited for them to come out. Great book for elementary kids.
