(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Fearing. "Step 1: Choose a Super Name." "Step 2: Pick a Partner." While a boy follows his "Superhero Instruction Manual," readers follow the real drama: he goes from avoiding his fawning little sister to christening her his super sidekick. Equal parts heart, humor, and thrills, the book features art with old-school comics-style touches, including Ben-Day dots and all-caps action sound bursts: "KAPOW!"
