While Dog Man is struggling with his fear, the flea-sized villains Piggy, Bub, and Crunky are working on plans of their own. Piggy tries to steal the famous Hope Mood Ring while Bub and Crunky hypnotize Big Jim, making him into a new super hero, Commander Cupcake. While Dog Man and the others battle the various villains, Commander Cupcake bumbles onto the various scenes just in time to get credit for solving all the crimes. When Li'l Petey tells Petey he abandoned him once, this is a reference to Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties.
It's Big Jim's birthday, and the warden gave him a lot of balloons. He gives one to Tippy, Fluffy, and Mr. Whiskers. He tries to give Petey a balloon, but Petey pops it with his claw, making Big Jim cry. Petey tries to make Big Jim happy, but Big Jim tells him to go away. Petey finally makes Big Jim happy when he claims that he got Big Jim a present, which he buried in the jail yard litter box, and will hold Big Jim's balloons while Big Jim digs it up. Unknown to Big Jim, Petey flies away with Big Jim's balloons, and Big Jim only finds poop in the litter box. This book draws clear distinction between feelings and action: you need more than good intentions to be a decent person. In an argument between Li'L Petey and his grandfather, the old cat claims he never felt love for Petey a day in his life. "Love isn't just something you feel," Li'L Petey tells him. "Love is something you do!" Powerful words from a perceptive youngster. You can't force yourself to feel affection for someone, but you can dutifully protect and provide for them as though you felt love. In the end, how you treat them is more important than what you felt while doing it. Things might have turned out differently had Petey's father grasped this years ago. Li'L Petey encourages Dog Man in a similar vein when he finds our hero hiding in a trash can, terrified of Dr. Scum's Burgle Balls. Li'L Petey assures Dog Man he's a "good boy," but, "that doesn't mean very much. Look around. This city is filled with good people...but none of them are doing anything! It's not enough to just be good. We gotta do good! Even if things get scary!" Being a hero requires that you stand up to evil when you're afraid, risking your safety to do good, and Dog Man's record of heroism is why we love and admire him. The relationship between Petey and Lil' Petey continues to evolve during the second novel of this set, titled Dog Man: Fetch-22. Petey is now officially one of the good guys and embraces his role as Lil' Petey's dad. Petey's father, known throughout this guide as Grampa, is in jail as this novel opens, having stolen all the stuff from Petey's Secret Laboratory. Lil' Petey has also made an important discovery. The Supa Brain Dots, which were a main part of the story line of a previous novel of this series, actually cause “supa anger.” That explains why Flippy the fish became a villain in a previous novel. Lil' Petey's research prompts Flippy to be released from jail.Petey does some good work and he gets pardoned from the cat jail. He comes home and gets Li'l Petey to live with him as he is not in jail anymore. Petey also wants to teach Li'l Petey that world isn't all rainbows, unicorns and lollypops. In Grime and Punishment and Fetch-22, he leaves Cat Jail unnoticed. This also happens in For Whom the Ball Rolls.
I really love how Dav Pilkey is capable of hammering the reader over the head with his message and it still doesn't FEEL like he's doing that. I particularly liked the final point that we should do good because it's the right thing to do and not because we want credit. Petey's relationship with his father did a great job of showing that sometimes cutting out toxic family members is the right and healthy thing to do, and it's okay to not want to reconnect with someone who treated you poorly, even if that person is family. Petey is giving a speech about how cats deserve more rights than dogs, while the FLEAS are forming a new plan on Petey's whisker. He is interrupted by the Jail Warden, telling him he got a pardon. He then forgets everything he just talked about and tries to leave Cat Jail. Big Jim then shows up and gives Petey a hug, and the FLEAS end up on Big Jims whisker.Este es el segundo libro de Dav Pilkey que leo. Me ha gustado más el otro libro de Club de Cómics de 🐱 . Es más divertido el otro (con esa literal estaba que me moría de risa) . Este no me ha hecho reír tanto como el otro . Lo que sí es que este libro me ha conmovido más que el otro libro. Crunky and Bub make him a cupcake superhero called Commander Cupcake. He somehow then escaped Cat Jail without any trouble and captured all of the FLEAS. Sarah Hatoff does a news story about the events that happened in Dog Man Brawl of the Wild. When Peteyfinds out that 7 dogs got a pardon while he didn't, he decides to start a revolution. Meanwhile, Chief and Dog Man are trying to chase down a robber. Dog Man obsession with balls leads to the robbers escape. Chief is then very angry, and tells Dog Man to go home. Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls and Fetch-22 Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to
Big Jim is a cat who currently a prisoner at Cat Jail, along with Petey, Mr. Whiskers, Tippy, Fluffy, and several other unnamed cats. When he got hypnotized by Crunky and Bub, he thought he is a superhero named Commander Cupcake, and therefore started an addiction to cupcakes. Recasting Dog Man and his feline ward, Li’l Petey, as costumed superheroes, Pilkey looks East of Eden in this follow-up to Tale of Two Kitties (2017). Somewhat torn with this review. Read them during tutoring. The student loved them and couldn't get enough. His growing love of reading was a direct result of this series. I really didn't care for them (maybe because I am a female) but continued reading because they developed a love of reading for my 8 yr old male pupil and isn't that the reason for literature. We may not all have the same taste but we need to appreciate and respect other people's choices. Yes, yes I did. I made my students wait for this book until I had a chance to read it. Because I know after we start passing it from reader to reader I might not see it again until November. And I'm just going to say to the graphic novel haters and those who can't stand the fact that their kids/students read Dog Man books over and over again...read one. Better yet, read the whole series. These books are so good that they are WORTH reading again and again!The theme of the book was inspired by the following poem “Two men looked through prison bars. One saw mud. The other, stars.” OMG, it gives me chills! Dog Man and Li'l Petey are not looking at them in the original cover, but changed at the last minute. The Cupcakemobile and Cupcake Computer are both based on the Batmobile and the Batcomputer, all spoofing Batman's belongings. What do you get from sewing the head of a smart dog onto the body of a tough police officer? A new superhero from the incorrigible creator of Captain Underpants.
