With their super-cartoony illustrations, these slight, large-format stories--in which the creatures play vital crime-fighting roles--should appeal to young animal-loving superhero fans. Silly jokes are appended. Glos. Review covers these DC Super-Pets Origin Stories titles: Ace! and Jumpa!

(4) 1-3 DC Super-Pets series. "'Using my incredible shrinking ray, I've kenneled canines from around the galaxy!'" These action-packed stories, told in three chapters, combine the right amount of humor and comic-book hyperbole to entice animal-loving reluctant readers with the superhero bug. Each book begins with a two-page introduction to the "starring" creatures and their origin information. The colorful cartoon art pairs well with the exclamation-point-heavy good-versus-evil texts. Review covers these DC Super-Pets titles: Starro and the Space Dolphins, The Amazing Mini-Mutts, and Super-Pets Showdown.
