Picture books for everyone

 

Arnold the Super-ish Hero by Heather Tekavec

Superhero stories are pretty much always a win with young readers. In this case, we have a character with no powers. A character who has always just been an assistant but finds himself in a position to help when the "real" heroes are busy. The evil he fights is nothing big. He finds his niche in small problems. The suggestion is, of course, that we all can help, that no one is too weak or too small. And Arnold isn't perfect. He sometimes bumbles his way into a solution. A great choice for a kid who aspires to be super.
