Superheroes have a lot of super attributes-amazing strength, incredible speed, and sensational outfits, for starters-but this charming book focuses on a less celebrated super skill, something closer to home for young readers

A numbat youth compares superheroes found in comic books and cartoons with a different kind of superhero: his dad. He comes to realize that being a dad is far more important than any super powers typical of heroes in modern fiction. This delightful picture book introduces impressive natural abilities of 12 different mask-wearing superdad animals from around the world. Rhyming couplets, onomatopoeias, and alliterations engage readers while lift-the-flaps reveal more information and add mystery.

"[Chris Owen's] engaging poetic style is impressive. The real strength of the book, however, is Moira Court's unconventional and highly original illustrative style." --"Canberra's Child" magazine
"A celebration of the super skills only parents have." --"Practical Parenting" magazine
