The Return of Everyone's Favorite Canine Hero...

Scholastic has just revealed the cover for "Dog Man: Big Jim Believes" – the latest installment in Dav Pilkey's phenomenally popular graphic novel series that has captured the hearts of young readers worldwide!

This epic new adventure follows our beloved heroes – the crime-fighting Dog Man, the curious kitten Li'l Petey, and their robot friend 80-HD – as they embark on a journey exploring the importance of friendship, truth, integrity, and gratitude. Values we cherish here at Little Book Factory!

"Big Jim Believes" hits bookshelves on November 11, 2025. We're already anticipating the excited faces of children as they dive into another action-packed, heartwarming story!

What makes this series even more special is the personal connection behind the stories. Pilkey recently shared:

"The Dog Man series has evolved to become a love letter to my parents. I am grateful to them for believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself. Their optimism, support and encouragement have made a tremendous impact in my life."

This beautiful sentiment reminds us of our mission at Little Book Factory – helping children believe in their own creative potential and celebrating their unique voices through our personalized book services.

• Translated into 48 languages worldwide
• Over 70 million copies in print and counting
• According to Scholastic, Pilkey authored one out of every three graphic novels sold in the UK last year!

Ellie Berger, president of Scholastic Trade, expressed what we're all feeling: "Dav Pilkey is a trailblazer and passionate advocate for getting kids to love reading. The release of a new Dog Man book is a momentous global publishing event. November can't come soon enough!"
