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.
For the little superheroes among us who need a gentle reminder that apologizing can save the day. SuperJoe is an energetic, brown-skinned boy with dark locs who is up early for a big adventure. As SuperJoe imagines himself confronting invading aliens, he accidentally breaks his mom' s favorite mug. When Dad asks SuperJoe to apologize, SuperJoe exclaims, "Superheroes don' t say sorry--they' re much too busy!" With his mess behind him, SuperJoe is off to his next escapade--rescuing a ship from a giant squid. Fearless Joe ties the tentacles in knots but leaves puddles on the bathroom floor for his dad to mop up. Who has time to clean when there' s a dinosaur on the loose? ! SuperJoe' s enormous roar scares away the beast--and wakes up his baby sister. Though he again refuses to apologize, he can' t hear any more of his superassignments because his baby sister is crying. He starts to feel awful and does something out of character. He goes into his sister' s room, softly strokes his sister' s cheek, and says sorry--a small act of compassion that inspires SuperJoe to pick up his toys, mop up his messes, and even fix his mom' s favorite mug. 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 book was reviewed digitally. ) This fun little book with a big message is perfect for little readers. --Kirkus Reviews-- "Journal" (7/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
