Superdog: The Heat of a Hero

If a child likes comic books, then I think he would love the book Superdog: The Heart of a Hero because the story is a picture and comic book in one. Tired of being overlooked because he is so small, Dexter the dog transforms himself into a superhero by working out a ton and buying a hero suite. He becomes the ultimate superdog when he saves the same cat who’s been making fun of him all along out of a tree.
I love how the author incorporates the idea of a picture book and comic book into one. Even though there is still a good amount of text on each page, there is still comic text in most pictures on each page that is in the comic font, and language. The pictures are very colorful and interesting to look at, and the story is very easy to follow. I also enjoyed the message in the story-that if you dream something and work hard at it, it can happen.
