Cat Kid Comic Club Perspectives | Incoming

Big news today: A new graphic novel is on the way from Dog Man creator Dav Pilkey. Cat Kid Comic Club Perspectives is the followup to Cat Kid Comic Club, which came out last December (and got a starred review from SLJ). Like the first book, this one is set in the same world as the Dog Man books and features a comics class for the baby frogs, who proudly show off their work as the story goes along. The new book stretches the medium even further than the last one. Here’s what Pilkey has to say:

The Cat Kid Comic Club series is the continuing saga of 21 creative baby frogs and the club they share with Molly and their friends Li’l Petey and Flippy. In the new book Cat Kid Comic Club: Perspectives, the baby frogs all have different ways of seeing the world. In creating their stories and mini comics, I wanted to show the frogs’ individuality as they express themselves using different mediums, including photography, paper models, claymation, poetry, watercolors, and more. The imaginative baby frogs discover new ways to collaborate and see one another’s points of view. My hope is that by making one continuous story broken up by mini stories with a variety of themes, kids will want to create their own stories.

Pilkey posted a behind-the-scenes look at the book, including some of the creations that will be part of it, at the B&N Reads blog. Cat Kid Comic Club: Perspectives will be available as a hardcover for ages 7+ on November 30, 2021.
