Cat Kid Comic Club books in order

The five books in the main series come in this order: Cat Kid Comic Club, Perspectives, On Purpose, Collaborations and Influencers. They are numbered one to five, and each continues the class of baby frogs learning to make comics. A sixth book has been rumored, but we found no confirmed listing, so check Scholastic for the newest release.

It is best to, because the books follow the same class and the same running ideas. Each book has a theme, such as perspective or teamwork, so a child who starts in the middle will still enjoy it. If you are buying a first book, begin with Cat Kid Comic Club, which is number one.

It is a separate series by the same author, with its own numbering. It shares characters and humor with Dog Man, but you do not need to read one to enjoy the other. Dog Man is mostly story, while Cat Kid Comic Club shows how comics are made. Children who like one often like both.

We place it in our ages 6 to 8 band, and one book site suggests roughly ages 7 to 12. The jokes are silly and the pictures are big. Children differ, and the publisher gives its own age range on each listing, so check it and flip through a copy before buying.

Dav Pilkey writes and draws it, as he does for Dog Man and Captain Underpants. Scholastic publishes it. Each book also includes comics supposedly made by the frog students, which adds different drawing styles to each volume. That mix is part of why the series works as a gentle guide to making your own comics.

Dog Man is the obvious next step, followed by funny series such as Babymouse, Squish and Hilo. For a longer adventure, Amulet and Bone come later. The Comic Finder can filter by age and the humor genre, and our Books like Dog Man page has a longer list with the same style of jokes.
