Superhero+ABC



__Bibliographic data:__

Title- Superhero ABC Author: Bob McLeod ISBN: 9780060745165 Pages: 30 Publisher: HarperCollins

__A summary of the book:__ This book goes through the alphabet showing a different Superhero at each letter. These are not the usual Superheros you are used to reading about like Superman or the Hulk. These are great new Superheros like Danger Man and Goo Girl. They each have their own ability and unique way of fighting crime!

__A review of the book:__ This is a great book that can be used with a younger audience, I would say grades K-2. This book could be a great way for younger grades to learn and remember the alphabet with some of the silly names of these Superheros. The Superheros in this book would be great to do activities with, like creating their own SuperHero for a letter they pick.

__An analysis of a literary element:__

In this book the imagery is the most important element to me. The use of the images really draw the reader into the book. Being such a great artist, Bob McLeod really knows how to capture the reader’s attention and bring them into the picture. The intent of this book is to learn your ABC’s and it is done very well through the use of imagery. Each Superhero has their own unique outfit and name making it easy for the children to remember the letters by remembering the Superheros.
