About Ten Rules Of Being A Superhero
Product Description In order to be a real superhero, you have to follow some important rules: Rule #1: A superhero must ALWAYS respond to a call for help. Rule #2: Saving the day is messy. But everyone understands. In this handy guide, Captain Magma and his trusty sidekick, Lava Boy, take young readers on an adventure to learn all ten rules of being a good superhero. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—This story illuminates the fantasy world of one little boy and his favorite toy, Captain Magma. Together, they are Lava Boy and Captain Magma, an unstoppable duo committed to rescuing others, setting a good example, and being brave in a world that doesn't always understand them. The book does not have a traditional narrative. Rather, the 10 rules of being a superhero provide the framework for the story and much of the humor. The gouache illustrations are colorful and engaging, and children will enjoy the humorous speech bubbles throughout. From responding to a call for help and using one's powers for good to having tasty snacks on hand to keep in top form and saving the day, these rules will appeal to young superheroes (and their sidekicks) everywhere.—Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, Hillsborough, CA Review “This story illuminates the fantasy world of one little boy and his favorite toy, Captain Magma . . . will appeal to young superheroes (and their sidekicks) everywhere.” ―School Library Journal “Pilutti has painted every toy a child could want: robots and monkeys and a green troll with hair like a firecracker . . . The illustrations of the playroom are the highlight of the book.” ―Kirkus Reviews “Instead of opting for braggadocio and mock high drama, Pilutti's duo's self-awareness and low-stakes theatrics have an offhanded, almost improvisational vibe.” ―Publishers Weekly About the Author Deb Pilutti is an award-winning illustrator and designer. She was previously a partner at oliebollen.com, where she designed toys and products for the children's market. Ten Rules of Being a Superhero is her third picture book. She lives with her family in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she spends time daydreaming about which superpowers she'd most like to have if she were a superhero.
