Read on to find out in this action-packed origin story! Increasingly funny text and art ensue, striking a clever balance between fantasy and reality; the images feel like stills from an animated cartoon. . . . A hero’s journey by turns dramatic and endearing. —Kirkus Reviews

Pastel hues play up the artwork’s gentle details, particularly in the cute, rounded stuffies’ expressive faces, while comic-book drama takes advantage of David’s inclusion of both paneled and full-page scenes, several of which add suspense through exaggerated perspectives. A creative celebration of playtime and superheroes. —BooklistJESSE WENTE is a husband and father, as well as a writer, broadcaster, speaker and arts administrator.
