I get what the author was trying to do around superheroes -- show different ways of being "super" and normalize it to some extent, and also help good behaviors along by associating them with superheroes. In theory the book was targeted both to boys and girls, but in practice, it was aimed primarily at a boy -- the boy was the protagonist, and the girl (his sister) is just an observer. That's unfortunate, and unnecessary -- the book could easily have showed the boy and the girl each having superhero issues, for instance. Sadly this distracted from my family's enjoyment of and appreciation for the text.[return][return]LibraryThing Early Reviewers book. ( ) Using the same concept as Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots but this time Super Heroes for the boys. The idea at the end that there are other types of heroes not just super heroes is a nice one but I think will be lost on most kids. Still I've always liked these... You can be anyone you want to be but you still have to do the dishes. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this book as an early review. I would recommend the book for pre-school through first grade students. It has great illustrations and a fun rhyme!This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this book as an early review, and read it to my preschool class, as we were discussing what makes a person a hero. They liked the rhymes and the pictures, but concluded from he book that only boys can be heros. Girls can be sidekicks, but nothing more. I would have liked to see more gender equality in this book, but it is a cute book for kids who aren't deep thinkers. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
