Dog Man. A Tale of Two Kitties
Dog Man, the newest hero from the creator of Captain Underpants, hasn’t always been a paws-itive addition to the police force. While he can muzzle miscreants, he tends to leave a slick of slobber in his wake! This time, Petey the cat’s dragged in a tiny bit of trouble– a double in the form of a super-cute kitten. Dog Man must work twice as hard to bust these furballs and remain top dog!

#2
The Baby-Sitters Club. Vol. 15 Claudia and the Bad Joke
Claudia isn’t worried when she hears her newest baby-sitting charge, Betsy Sobak, is a big practical joker. After all, how much harm can one little girl do? Plenty. Claudia breaks her leg as a result of one of Betsy’s jokes. Now Claudia feels like babysitting might be too dangerous, and she’s talking about quitting the club. Kristy thinks Betsy needs to be taught a lesson and that the babysitters are the ones to do it. Watch out, Betsy Sobak. The joke war is on!
