Superkitty

Bright, colourful and good fun to read. Superkitty jumps off the shelf and children will squeal with delight at the adventures of Superkitty. Superkitty works in the office of the 'Sensational Superhero Agency', but she is always just stuck answering the phones and never gets to be involved in the crime fighting unlike the 'crime fighting kitten I was born to be'. The Sensational Superheroes are six crime fighting heroes who state that chasing bad guys is no job for a cute little kitten. Suddenly the phone rings with the news that a terrible villain is on the loose and Superkitty decides it's time to fight some bad guys. Along the way one by one the Sensational Superheroes get distracted - the bakery, the hairdressers, swimming - leaving just Superkitty to capture 'Nefarious Norman'. Surprising everyone, Superkitty overcomes her fears and becomes famous across the land. Delightfully funny and engaging, this tale will quickly become a firm favourite with young children. With bright, colourful and large illustrations this tale is good fun to read as you spot all the little details included with the characters. This story teaches young children to believe in themselves and anyone can achieve their dreams if they put their mind to it, as well as an important 'girl power' vibe running throughout. From a cute little kitty to 'Superkitty', my children have loved this story from beginning to end. Picture book / Ages 4+ / Reviewed by Joanna Hewish, teacher.
