Superfab Saves the Day

K-Gr 2—Superfab is a particularly style-conscious superhero who wants everything, not just himself, to be super. He owns super books, lives in a super rabbit hole, and has a super kitchen, just to name a few examples. Unfortunately, his obsession keeps him from being a very good superhero. It takes the rabbit so long to choose a saving-the-day ensemble that he is always too late to actually save the day. With simple illustrations that beg to be examined closely to absorb every detail, the story takes off as Superfab's super phone stops ringing. In his own way, he later comes to the rescue as all the other superheroes are indisposed and he shows just how powerful being "fab" can be. An unlikely type of hero, Superfab is amusing and will elicit more than a quick giggle from children. The illustrations beg a second read to fully capture the mischief and mayhem throughout the book and bring more life to the amusing but average text. A solid choice for general purchase, especially in this superhero rich world.—Ashley Prior, Lincoln Public Library, RI
