Send for a Superhero!

40 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-6438-1 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Katharine McEwen. In this story-within-a-story, Dad reads Send for a Superhero! to Emily and little Elmer at bedtime. The silly comic-book parody stars Brad 40, a clear-thinking boy who helps save the day, and Extremely Boring Man, the most ridiculous superhero ever. Text and art shift smoothly between superhero action and bedtime antics--one funny for its off-brand superheroes, the other for its recognizable family dynamics.
