(3) K-3 Translated by Sarah Quinn. Illustrated by Bérengère Delaporte. This offbeat French import introduces Superfab, a super-stylish rabbit whose superhero career is on the decline because deciding which outfit to wear is ruining his emergency response time. When a huge space creature attacks, Superfab discovers the monster also has an eye for fashion, and he easily saves the day--without fighting. Sprightly, childlike illustrations suit the story's tongue-in-cheek tone.
