Yes, there are new Dog Man books available now and in development. The flagship series continues with new full-color installments released periodically, while collected editions and special formats expand the collection. This overview covers recent releases, upcoming confirmed titles, and how to track official announcements so you can distinguish confirmed plans from rumors.

Upcoming and recently announced Dog Man books
Dav Pilkey has periodically announced new Dog Man titles via social media, publisher press releases, and book retailer listings. Upcoming announcements often align with school-year planning and major reading initiatives, such as summer reading and classroom adoption programs.
How to verify announcements
To confirm an upcoming title:
- Check Scholastic and Amazon publishing pages for listed release dates.
- Review official Dav Pilkey and Dog Man channels for pinned posts.
- Cross-reference major bookseller catalogs that show publication dates and ISBNs.
Note on rumors and older content
Older lists and recycled announcements sometimes circulate as if they are current. Unofficial summaries, reading challenge lists, and out-of-date calendars can cause confusion. Rely on publisher and author channels for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
What counts as an official Dog Man book
Official Dog Man materials include:
- Main-sequence graphic novels released by Scholastic.
- Special editions (anniversary, themed) that carry new cover art or bonus content.
- Activity and companion books officially tied to the series.
Fan-made lists, informal reading logs, and repackaged older volumes without new story content are not new releases.
Tracking future Dog Man releases
For ongoing updates:
- Subscribe to the official Dog Man newsletter or Scholastic announcements.
- Set retailer release alerts on platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
- Follow Dav Pilkey’s verified social accounts for infrequent but authoritative news.
Until an official date and title appear from these sources, treat rumored publication years or numbers as unconfirmed.
