Got a chance to read this extremely wholesome book today! In addition to just being a wonderful read, it has such a great message about doing something for your community and helping others, no matter how old you are!

A delightful adventure about being kind and taking care of each other. Illustrations are beautiful and the story is funny and sweet. Plus there’s a bonus mini comic that teaches kids to contact their local representatives! 10/10 would vote for Mayor Good Boy’s re-election.

I just didn't get it. The illustrations are sweet and I suspect many children will love some of the humour but it was caught between trying to be semi-serious (about how we can all make a difference) and extremely silly. Also, 'why' the mayor is a dog is never really explained. It was as if Scheidt and Harmon were trying to put in too many things and the pieces didn't fit. I will say though, that there were moments that made me chuckle (and my boys) but they mostly revolved around Aaron (the young, gross brother) and fart jokes.

Going through the Graphic Novel section of the school library I work at! A perfect book for kids who can't stop checking out Captain Underpants, and also wholly enjoyable for adults to read.

I found the humor obnoxiously annoying, but I also think Im too old and uncool to like it. Probably very nice for kids in right age.

Funny and full of fart jokes. Contains some interesting back matter (e.g. how to draw the characters and how to contact your representatives).

Featuring one of the cutest illustrated dogs ever, MAYOR GOOD BOY'S surprising combination of appealing art, potty humor, and appeal to activism will make it a pleasure for middle-grade readers and more.
