Assuming you're okay with books to read to him, these ones by Torben Kuhlmann are absolutely gorgeously illustrated https://www.amazon.com/Books-Torben-Kuhlmann/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ATorben+Kuhlmann
but they're a little big and not really like Dog Man. I just like telling people about these ones.

Otherwise theres stuff like the Narwhal and Jelly book series which your kid might like. Maybe also look at The Bad Guys series?

Pilkey also has a bunch of other series you can work through

Can also skim the best graphic novel lists for kids that the ALA put out the past couple years.

I haven't worked for the library for a few years so I'm not really up to date with the new stuff

imo its really gonna depend on what her personal interests are. What kind of things is she into (other than fairies)? Would other mythical beast type things (dragons/unicorns) or animal books work?

e:just gonna throw stuff out there based on the Rainbow Magic

You can try doing the Dragonbreath series which is a mix of graphic novel panels and text.

Theres a whole slew of fairy/magic animal type series:Fairy Animals by Lily Small, Magic Puppy/kitten/ponies by sue bentley
Holly webb has non-magic animal books if she'd like that

Otherwise, could try Notebook of Doom books for something more realism based?

Maybe cut a deal with her where she has to check out x number of regular books along with x number of graphic novels?

Could try doing "reverse" story times where she reads to you. Or if theres a patient pet available, reads to it. My library used to do "Read to a Dog" events and they were quite popular.
