Book Details
SuperJoe – superhero in the making – is far too busy to say sorry. He tears around the house sending invading space aliens back into orbit, rescuing passengers from sinking ships, and bravely facing prehistoric perils, while leaving a trail of broken toys, spilled bath water and displaced goldfish in his wake. But one sound keeps interfering with his supersonic hearing . . . and that’s the sound of his little sister crying. Can SuperJoe swallow his pride and say the one little word that will make everything better?
The laugh-out-loud follow up to SuperJoe Does NOT Do Cuddles, this second outing by our loveable superhero is sure to help even the most stubborn pre-schooler learn the value of saying sorry.
“The story is sweet, with a sound though never heavy-handed lesson. Filled with movement, Proctor’s vibrant, digitally colored pencil illustrations leap off the page. This fun little book with a big message is perfect for little readers.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“The illustrations are lively and friendly, and the action scenes are great fun. It’s refreshing to see Dad holding the baby and the mop, rather than Mum, even when both parents are present. It’s also refreshing to see a Black boy as a superhero. Funny and charming, this book is simply super!”
