Description
“. . .harkens back to those heady days of Calvin and Hobbes” — School Library Journal
"...these fresh episodes preserve both its sly brand of humor and solid-gold values on the way to a cozy closing snoozefest. . . “ —Kirkus Reviews
“Sophie is the perfect mix of heart, humor, and hilarity!" - Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate
From the creator of 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.

Advance Praise
"This graphic novel is an amiable hang-out for elementary readers. . .harkens back to those heady days of Calvin and Hobbes” — School Library Journal
"Fun, funny, and likely to draw new fans to the dynamic duo . . . If the mix of adult-sounding dialogue (“Hey! You’re not allowed on the furniture!” “What part of we’re cats do you not understand?”) 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
- A Junior Library Gold Standard
- These are great! Very Calvin and Hobbes in tone. Episodic chapters full of fantastical adventures starring a baby, dogs, cats, and squirrels. Readers will absolutely love these—get multiple copies!” —Teen Librarian Toolbox Blog (Hosted by School Library Journal)
