Kelli ，

This was good。 I read it with my children; they loved the characters but I felt the end of every chapter was a little repetitive。 However my kids loved it。

gina ，

Such a cute series。 I really like the bad guys lol！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Agent M and Reggie stink so bad！ Especially when they captured Mindy at the end。 But good thing they got trapped in Jail！ （They really deserve it）

A lovely book with action packed superhero excitement this book is perfect for Dog Man fans of age 8 to 11。 It is thrilling and every chapter has a cliff hanger to keep the reader interested。 It's engaging， witty and cute and harkens back to comic books of the 1980s so adults will get a kick out of it too。 It has beautiful illustrations too。 A lovely book with action packed superhero excitement this book is perfect for Dog Man fans of age 8 to 11。 It is thrilling and every chapter has a cliff hanger to keep the reader interested。 It's engaging， witty and cute and harkens back to comic books of the 1980s so adults will get a kick out of it too。 It has beautiful illustrations too。 。。。more

OMG！ My superhero loving son has found a new favorite！ Max Meow: Cat Crusader Book 1 kept his attention longer than most （I mean he is just 4。5 yo）， but it was perfect for a story before bed。 We loved the illustrations， and the graphic novel style of the story。 We will be back for #2 for sure！

Michael J。 ，

Funny and cute。 MAX MEOW， along with TINY TITANS are the comic series/graphic novels I would recommend for introducing young readers to super-heroes。 The stories are engaging。 The art is colorful。 There are themes of friendship and responsibility along with some silly humor that can also be appreciated by middle-grade readers。

Erin ，

Very funny and engaging。 Perfect for fans of Dog Man， Captain Underpants， The Investigators， Bad Guys， Catwad etc。 Bright and bold illustrations， lots of jokes and adventure！

Marisa ，

Do you know a kid that’s read all of the Dog Man books multiple times？ Do you want to keep that reading spark alive by giving them something similar？ You need to get your hands on John Gallagher’s meow-tastic new graphic novel series， Max Meow: Cat Crusader。Max was just an ordinary cat， with a pretty average internet show， until the day that he accidentally eats a piece of space meatball and gets superpowers。 His scientist friend Mindy discovered the meatball on her travels in space and brought Do you know a kid that’s read all of the Dog Man books multiple times？ Do you want to keep that reading spark alive by giving them something similar？ You need to get your hands on John Gallagher’s meow-tastic new graphic novel series， Max Meow: Cat Crusader。Max was just an ordinary cat， with a pretty average internet show， until the day that he accidentally eats a piece of space meatball and gets superpowers。 His scientist friend Mindy discovered the meatball on her travels in space and brought it back to earth to investigate。 Now Max can fly and has super strength， so he becomes the Cat Crusader and protects Kittyopolis。 Agent M， Reggie and their boss， Big Boss， want to get their hands on Mindy and her space meatball so it’s up to Max to figure out this superhero thing and save the day。 Oh， and stop the giant mini-golf monsters while he’s at it！Meow-za！ Max Meow: Cat Crusader is a super fun， action-packed read that will have kids and adults begging for more。 There’s something in this book for everyone – superpowers， cats， villains， a robot with daddy issues， monsters， cliff-hanger endings and laughs galore。 I had to read this over just two nights to my 5 year old daughter because she couldn’t stand waiting to know what happened in the next chapter。 John Gallagher sets that up perfectly by ending each chapter with questions， like ‘WHAT will Mindy show Max？ WHY is there a floating whale in Mindy’s lab？’ It’s one of the first graphic novels I’ve read aloud and it works so well。 We giggled along together and each picked up different things in the illustrations。John’s illustrations have heaps of kid appeal。 They’re bright， colourful， and full of action and expression。 John hasn’t let himself be constricted by the panels， as the action and characters often flow through or burst into other panels， and even right off the page。The humour works on lots of different levels too。 John uses puns in the text and there are plenty of visual gags。 There are jokes for the kids and jokes for the adults。 I especially enjoyed the character of Cody the dog， who doesn’t say anything but always gives a thumbs up。 I also really like Reggie the robot who can’t seem to stop referring to Agent M as Daddy。Max Meow: Cat Crusader is a must-have graphic novel for all primary and intermediate school libraries。 It will be snapped up straight away and it’s popularity will spread like wildfire。 Kids will be begging for the next book in the series， which is due out here in NZ in July。 My daughter and I can’t wait for Max Meow: Donuts and Danger！ 。。。more

Feline fun！ I worthy companion to the dog boy mania。 Hoping for much success to John a truly awesome cartoonist。 A great graphic novel for young readers！

Kids seem to be really enjoying Max Meow thus far， and I can see why。 The first book was a joyride that I think will continue to grow in popularity as kids learn about it。 If you have kids looking for books that are similar to Pilkey's Dogman， this would be one of my go to books for sure。 Meow-za！ I'll definitely pick up Book Two for our collection as well。 Kids seem to be really enjoying Max Meow thus far， and I can see why。 The first book was a joyride that I think will continue to grow in popularity as kids learn about it。 If you have kids looking for books that are similar to Pilkey's Dogman， this would be one of my go to books for sure。 Meow-za！ I'll definitely pick up Book Two for our collection as well。 。。。more

I am sure this will be quite popular。 This grew on me by the end but on the whole I gotta say， I’d rather introduce kids to so many more creative and original graphic novels that are out there。

Good silly fun featuring a feline superhero。

Funny new graphic novel about an ordinary cat in a town of cats。 His best friend is a scientist and inventor， Mindy， a person。 She finds an electromagnetic meatball that Max eats （he's always hungry） and becomes Cat Crusader。 The villain is a mouse of course （ an ultimately his boss is a squirrel but that's the next episode。） Reminds me of Dav Pilkey's Dog Man for cat lovers。 Funny new graphic novel about an ordinary cat in a town of cats。 His best friend is a scientist and inventor， Mindy， a person。 She finds an electromagnetic meatball that Max eats （he's always hungry） and becomes Cat Crusader。 The villain is a mouse of course （ an ultimately his boss is a squirrel but that's the next episode。） Reminds me of Dav Pilkey's Dog Man for cat lovers。 。。。more

Graphic novel with accessible text for young readers。 I can see older elementary students finding it easy brain candy。 Although not the quality of a Dav Pilkey， it is sure to find an audience。

Super cute！ Reminded me of Dog Man。 Very silly and fun and charming。 I loved that each chapter ended with who/what/how/where questions to inspire readers to keep going。 I loved the drawing lesson at the end on how to draw Cat Crusader。 Very fun。 Kids will love this one。

The clorful illustrations， a simple storyline and over the top theatrics will probably appeal to this book's intended early elementary audience。 However， I really didn't enjoy it。 The clorful illustrations， a simple storyline and over the top theatrics will probably appeal to this book's intended early elementary audience。 However， I really didn't enjoy it。 。。。more

This is a cute， clever book！ I would compare it to Dog Man， but it’s really nothing like that except that they are both superheroes of sorts。 Max the Cat Crusader and his friend Mindy， a strong-willed scientist， are tasked with saving Mindy’s latest scientific discovery from falling into the wrong hands！ But will they prevail？ Will their friendship and Max’s newfound powers get in the way？ Laugh along with Max， Mindy and a few other new friends as you enjoy this rollicking good ride！ Filed under This is a cute， clever book！ I would compare it to Dog Man， but it’s really nothing like that except that they are both superheroes of sorts。 Max the Cat Crusader and his friend Mindy， a strong-willed scientist， are tasked with saving Mindy’s latest scientific discovery from falling into the wrong hands！ But will they prevail？ Will their friendship and Max’s newfound powers get in the way？ Laugh along with Max， Mindy and a few other new friends as you enjoy this rollicking good ride！ Filed under: Superhero stories， books I read in quarantine， books with minority characters as main characters。 。。。more

I thought I was going to like this book way more than I did。 I love cats so this cute kitty superhero was just the book for me。 But， for some reason， it just feels like a discount Dog Man。 I can’t put my finger on it but there just isn’t the spark that other graphic novels for young readers （Dog Man， Hi Lo） have。I still think many of my students will enjoy it though。

Youngsters who like cats and superheroes are sure to be amused by the antics of Max Meow。 An ordinary cat who wants to attract more followers to his podcast， Max becomes the Cat Crusader after accidentally eating a space meatball in his friend Mindy's lab。 The graphic novel features funny villains and plenty of action as well as feline-related humor。 There are good lessons in here， but the storyline itself is also plenty entertaining on its own。 I will look forward to being amused by Max's furth Youngsters who like cats and superheroes are sure to be amused by the antics of Max Meow。 An ordinary cat who wants to attract more followers to his podcast， Max becomes the Cat Crusader after accidentally eating a space meatball in his friend Mindy's lab。 The graphic novel features funny villains and plenty of action as well as feline-related humor。 There are good lessons in here， but the storyline itself is also plenty entertaining on its own。 I will look forward to being amused by Max's further adventures。 。。。more

If your child likes dog man he/she will love this series！ Set on comic book style like the others， it’s witty and funny and will keep your kiddos reading！

This is perfect for fans of graphics like Dog-Man and HILO。

This was written/illustrated by my mom’s friend’s husband！！ She bought a couple copies to support him and I really wanted to read it and write a review！！ This was so， so cute and something I would have loved as a kid。 Perfect for kids who love comics！

Exuberant comic for primary schoolers with a super-powered cat。 The origin story here， of how he records a vlog at a scientist friend's secret lab， only for one of her possessions to be wanted by an evil robot， would be nothing without the lively pace and action， although there's a lot more to this than that。 Quite why each chapter break is styled as if it were made of originally-published cartoons and this was a compilation volume of them I don't know – the running gag about there always being Exuberant comic for primary schoolers with a super-powered cat。 The origin story here， of how he records a vlog at a scientist friend's secret lab， only for one of her possessions to be wanted by an evil robot， would be nothing without the lively pace and action， although there's a lot more to this than that。 Quite why each chapter break is styled as if it were made of originally-published cartoons and this was a compilation volume of them I don't know – the running gag about there always being rhetorical questions is a bit limp。 Harmless fun for the young， who would rate it more highly than I did。 。。。more
