Overview:
Cat Kid Comic Club 4: Collaborations is the fourth instalment in Dav Pilkey's bestselling graphic novel series, spun off from the phenomenally popular Dog Man books. This hardback edition brings together Naomi, Melvin, Poppy, Gilbert, Curly and their froggy friends as they team up to create a brand-new batch of mini-comics. Bursting with humour, heart and colourful illustration, it's an ideal pick for young readers aged 7 and up who love comics, creativity and Dav Pilkey's trademark blend of silliness and storytelling.

About the Book:
After finishing their chores, the rambunctious baby frogs of the Cat Kid Comic Club get back to making comics, this time focused on collaboration. Highlights include the breakneck "Chubbs McSpiderbutt," the slapstick "Frogzilla," gentle haikus in "In the Autumn Pond," and the sugar-coated whodunnit "Mallo Cop." Each strip showcases a different art style, from origami and acrylic paint to collage and watercolour. Threaded through the laughs is a genuine, age-appropriate message: working together and combining different strengths can turn a small idea into something much bigger. The frogs' mistakes and do-overs are shown honestly, encouraging young readers to see imperfect first attempts as a normal part of being creative. The sturdy hardback format holds up well to enthusiastic re-reading. Fans of Dog Man will recognise Pilkey's fast-paced visual comedy, while newcomers get an easy entry point into graphic novels thanks to the short, varied mini-comics format.
