This Superhero Needs Your Help!

PreS-Gr 3–The third title in LaRochelle’s exciting, interactive draw-and-erase novelty series, this superhero adventure makes everyone part of the book creation process. As Dr. Dreadful wreaks havoc across town, the superhero asks readers to draw needed story elements such as a super vehicle, the path through a maze, or a trap to deactivate an evil robot. With help from readers, Dr. Dreadful’s plans are foiled; the next step is that readers get to design their own superhero costumes. The book comes with an erasable pen, so it can be used multiple times. The text has an urgent, excited tone and may be best read by an adult guiding a child through the adventure. The illustrations are engaging, with simple bold colors and casual line art, and leave plenty of room for imaginative contributions.
