SuperHero ABC

Superhero ABC by Bob McLeod 2008

Combining the popularity of superheroes with an alphabet book makes for an effective learning tool. The superheroes powers are introduced one letter at a time. There is the female Firefly who “fights felons in the forest”, and has “fat feet". The Odor Officer appears when “offensive odors” fill the air. The alliterations for each word add even more humor.

The cartoon illustrations by McLeod look very much like a comic book in an oversize format. The bold colors, and word balloons attest to the action that prevails throughout the book.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
