Thunder Pug by Kim Norman

4.0

This book is about all guys who struggle with their wives, girlfriends, younger siblings, etc. being successful. When Petunia wins a ribbon, Thunder Pug can't deal with his feelings of inadequacy or being left out, so he works to improve himself by becoming a superhero. He is successful, Petunia shows up to be his sidekick, and all is right with the world again.

I love that he finds a way to be successful without blaming or taking it out on Petunia, but I really wish she could be described as being a superhero in her own right rather than just a sidekick.

The illustrations are cheerful and upbeat, showing the joy of imaginative play with friends.
