I read Dog Squad 2: Cat Crew by Chris Grabenstein with my son and he loved it just as much as I did. It was creative, fun, and super cute. It's a great addition to a classroom library and it is sure to grab the middle-grade readers. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

This book was super cute. My daughter really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend to anyone who loves their furry friends. I wish I had read the first book but I'm sure it won't make that much of a difference.

Rounded up to 3.5 stars

Much like the first book in this series, this was a fun story reminiscent of kid friendly TV shows like Paw Patrol. I think the short chapters and quick pace will appeal to younger readers, likely opening up Grabenstein to a different fan base. I enjoyed the addition of cats, squirrels, and birds to the “crew”, as well as the underlying message of kindness to animals. Readers will also likely enjoy the pins and jokes throughout. I did think, however, that there were an awful lot of characters, and it was sometimes hard to keep track of which characters were what animal.

Overall, I think it is a cute second effort for this series, and will serve as a good springboard into Grabenstein’s more advanced books.

Dog Squad 2: Cat Crew, is a story for the whole family. Lots of fun action, cat and dog puns, and old enemies coming together to win the day, Dog Squad has it all.

Fred plays Duke on a TV show. And while Duke is brave and will do anything to save the day, Fred is a bit more timid in real life. So when he teams up with two stray cats who claim their buddy was stolen by an evil maniac who is forcing cats to obey her every whim, Fred might face his more terrifying challenge yet. Join Fred and his friends as they discover the sinister villains behind the newest TV show that just might force Fred’s show off the air.

I highly recommend Dog Squad 2: Cat Crew. A fantastic read for all!

What a fun read! It has just enough action to hold a child's attention from the first page until the last. This is a great read for any child that enjoys a book with cats and dogs as the main characters.

I received a advance copy of this book. I should of read the first book to better understand the plot. Story was well written about cats disliking dogs and having to work together and the standard villain and hero.

The second in the Dog Squad series that centers around a group of animals fighting crime! This book sees the Dog Squad crew working with cats in a new tv show idea, Cat Crew. However, animals keep going missing at the same time that their sketchy neighbor is debuting her own animal run show. The animals must work together to make everything right.

This was a cute book! I hadn't read the first one but I still enjoyed this one.
