Silly and nonsensacle, this would really work better in a cartoon. A lot of the gags are either too sophisticated or too juvenile.

This is a cute graphic novel about a scientist and her friend, a cat who becomes a superhero. It is geared for elementary aged kids, and was a hit with my 6 year old first grader.

He rated it 5 stars and said “I really liked it because it didn’t have too many words, and it had superheroes AND cats!” He also loved that there was a “how to draw” page at the end that showed you how to draw the main character.

I read through this one before my son read it himself, and I would recommend this book for any independent readers, especially reluctant readers. My son reads lots of chapter books, but I think this was a nice change of pace for him to take a break from regular reading. As a parent, I enjoyed the illustrations, and liked that there wasn’t a ton of rude humor, which is sometimes prevalent in a lot of graphic novels for kids.

Many thanks to John Gallagher, Random House Children’s, and NetGalley for the digital advanced copy of this book, in exchange for my honest review.

If you like Dog Man you will like Max Meow! Super cute book that my son loved! It is great when kid's want to read on there own because they loved a book so much!

John Gallagher offers a book that is fun, visually-appealing, and full of humor. I can see fans of Ben Clanton and Dav Pilkey gravitating to this book.

Perfects for comics fans, creative souls, striving readers, and those who haven’t found the right book yet!

My seven-year-old loves Captain Underpants books, and so when he said Max Meow reminded him of that, I knew that meant he enjoyed it! When asked if he would read a second book in this series, his answer was a definitive yes.

A fun graphic novel that’s sure to be a hit with kids. A cat with a scientist friend finds himself with new powers and a new superhero identity. I can see fans of Dogman and other Pilkey works loving this new story.

This was SO cute! I picked it up because I was in a bit of a funk from a not so great book and as an avid cat AND comic book lover, I figured this would be the perfect palate cleanser of sorts. I was definitely right. This was an absolutely adorable little read.
It's definitely aimed for the pre-school to elementary crowd, but I still found it funny and I really enjoyed reading through it. I'm sure it would be excellent for parents to read with their children. There's some good lessons on making mistakes and accepting help for younger kids, without losing the fun or making it the kind of preachy sort of story that turns little kids off.
The art style was also wonderful. It was simple, but whimsical. I'm sure it'll inspire lots of little readers to pick up their pencils and make creations of their own. This is probably not the greatest for people without kids that don't enjoy children's book, but if you have little ones or are just looking for something cute, fun, and lighthearted, I highly recommend Max Meow

This was such a fantastic comic book! My son year laughed and giggled the whole way through. If you have a little one who likes DogMan and Captain Underpants then they will love Max Meow.
