(3) K-3 In this companion to How to Cheer Up Dad, young elephant Little Jumbo tries to be a superhero, but his "good deeds" often go awry. In contrast to the earnest text ("he tirelessly crusaded against the forces of evil"), the illustrations reveal, with excellent comic timing, the slapstick truth. A slyly humorous conclusion suggests that friendship and kindness can be heroic in their own right.
