PreS-Gr 1–Superbaby is no ordinary baby. She can blast off into the sky and fly through the air. Superbaby can build cities and knock the buildings down. Catching runaway trains is an easy feat. What readers see are normal baby activities, but all are given a super spin; she thrives on growth potion but will need her stink shield activated afterward. After she recharges (naps), she’s ready to zip off to her next adventure. Superbaby is an adorable depiction of a baby and her adventures throughout the day. Smudged crayons work together with digital technology to create textured and colorful spreads that are a joy to look at and read. Each page has up to a few sentences, with some of the words appearing in a larger font and in different colors; all combined, this is a fun book and a great read-aloud. Superbaby has pale skin, her brother has yellow hair, as does her pale father, while her mother has curly black hair and tan skin. They are a truly super family.
VERDICT This super picture book is a grand purchase.
