Independent Reading Level: Grade 2
Honors/Awards: N/A

I can see why this is such a popular middle grade series! It’s silly, interactive with the reader, and action packed. Such a great idea for a story. ( )

OMG. I read this book in like 20 minutes and loved it. It was hilarious and an easy read. I can easily recommend it to kids.

I will note that it is perfect for reluctant readers due there being lots of white space, larger font, and illustrations. All of it makes the book. Plus, it feels like the fourth wall is broken and the reader feels talked to! ( )

This book was a graphic novel about animals that are typically bad wanting to be good. The leader of the group is trying to convince the others that they can be good and that it is better to be good. The book is goofy and silly and would probably hold a lot of kids attention, but I was not really fond of the stereotypical language of some of the characters. This book is best for grades 3-4 and can be used for independent reading. ( )

A wolf is tired of his reputation as a Bad Guy and decides to be a Good Guy. He rounds up other notorious bad guys - a snake, a piranha, and a shark - and comes up with a scheme to set 200 dogs free from the pound. (But first, they practice by rescuing a cat from a tree.) Grayscale art, easy to follow panels, lots of humor. ( )
