Book Review: Dog Man: Big Jim Believes

By Natasha Chokshi, Contributing Writer February 22, 2026

Dog Man: Big Jim Believes is a continuation of the award winning Dog Man series by Dav Pilkey. This book follows the ever-optimistic Big Jim as he ponders whether a good attitude is enough to help the world. The illustrations are full of personality, and the series gains depth and lore with every sequel.

This is a very sweet book, full of the humor characteristic of Pilkey's many books—an easy recommendation for the bookshelf!

Natasha has always found comfort and inspiration in stories. She loves getting lost in a good book or film, especially ones that linger long after the final page or scene. When she’s not reading or writing, you can find her sketching, diving into a new series, or rewatching a favorite animated classic. She’s especially drawn to romance, psychological horror, and character-driven drama, and has a soft spot for graphic novels, manga, and beautifully crafted animation that blends art with emotion.
