Superhero Dad

(4) PS Illustrated by Joe Berger. A boy sings his dad's praises ("He can pick up our dog, Jumbo, / so he must be Super Strong") in rhymes that usually (but don't always) scan. The cutesy running joke, courtesy of the mishap-spiked art, is that the boy is so awestruck by his father that he doesn't see Dad's clumsiness, messiness, and other acts of not-quite heroism.
