PreS-K–Fans of Fletcher and Abbott’s There’s a Dragon in Your Book and similar titles will love having a new character to follow. Superhero, a yellow boy, must stop the Scribbler, a green scribbly girl, from writing all over the precious pages of the book. The Scribbler keeps using her imagination to thwart Superhero, and Superhero needs help stopping the scribbles. With help from readers, Superhero learns exactly how to send the troublemaker to a coloring book. Full-color pages accompany the digital art designs, making each character stand out. The text is large and readable, which is especially helpful when it is swirled with a graphic on the page. The story moves quickly and allows readers to “help” Superhero with different actions, such as tapping spots on the book and stretching.
VERDICT A great read-aloud picture book that will boost story hours as listeners help save the day.
