Dog Man: Summer Movie/Book at the Strand

This summer, Firefly Bookstore and the Kutztown Strand Theater are teaming up once again for our second annual Books & Movies Summer Series. Throughout the summer, we'll be bringing six beloved family films to the big screen—each inspired by a book that readers can discover at Firefly.
Our next feature is Dog Man (2025). Based on the bestselling graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey, Dog Man follows the adventures of an unlikely hero who is part dog, part police officer, and all heart. Created after a life-saving surgery combines a police officer and his canine partner into one crime-fighting champion, Dog Man must protect the city from a colorful cast of villains while learning what it means to be a hero. Filled with Pilkey's trademark humor, creativity, and warmth, the story combines laugh-out-loud moments with themes of friendship, loyalty, kindness, and doing the right thing.
This series is part of our ongoing partnership with the Kutztown Strand Theater and our shared commitment to bringing family-friendly cultural events to the community. Moviegoers will also have the opportunity to explore the books behind the films, and Firefly will be hosting a ticket raffle throughout the series.
Whether you're already a fan of Dav Pilkey's wildly popular graphic novels or discovering Dog Man for the first time, we hope you'll join us for an afternoon of books, movies, and community.
Dog Man will be shown at the Kutztown Strand Theater on Sunday, July 26th at 2:00 PM. Tickets are only $5. There will be concessions available. We look forward to seeing you there for another fun-filled installment of our summer celebration of stories brought to life on the big screen.
