I received a copy of this book from the LibraryThing early reviewers program. This is a rhyming story which is sure to appeal to children in the 3-5 year age range. The text is fun to read, and the colorful illustrations are filled with lots of action and humorous details. [return][return]I noted the sister was pretty much along for the ride and did not get to be the super hero. In many, but not all, of the illustrations, the sister had a worried or confused look on her face and did not appear to be having as much fun as her brother. The exploration of a girl being a superhero was neglected in this book. The overview written on the book jacket says Every little boy and girl has a super hero somewhere inside just waiting to come out , so it was disappointing to see the sister placed in such a secondary role. This may give the book some added appeal to a boy, especially a boy that has a little sister, but it may also be a turn off for a young female reader. [return][return]Each page has a question and the next page contains the rhyming answer. One page did break from this format, and answered the question with another question. While this could possibly disrupt the flow of the book, it can also provide a nice resting point for an adult to discuss the questions presented. Do super heroes have to fix what they break? Even when it was a silly mistake? This could be an on going discussion in a household with an energetic 3-4 year old.

I think this book is very cute. My 3 year old son really liked it, but probably didn't understand everything. My 6 year old son thought it was too short. I'm guessing the book is geared toward a 2-4 year old though, so I would say it's a success.
I really liked the drawings and the overall message that you don't have to be a "super hero" to be a hero.

A cute book about super heroes and heroes, seemingly formatted as a child asking questions and being answered by (I believe) a parent. May be a bit difficult to read aloud at a storytime, but I'm going to give a try anyway.

The highly detailed illustrations are creative and a lot of fun! I think this is a great book for nearly every kid who loves superheroes.

Very cute concept but a little difficult for a storytime. Not a lot of actions, plot, or voices
