Animals are amazing―you might even say they’re super! They have special abilities that you’ve only seen in comic books and on your favorite cartoons. Super speed, laser eyes, invisibility, and more, the powers that our North American animals possess are truly incredible. Acclaimed children’s author and superhero expert Ryan Jacobson joins forces with award-winning naturalist and photographer Stan Tekiela to reveal the true identities of several critters and their astonishing skills. Power-packed with fun facts and sensational details, Super Animal Powers has received the prestigious Gold award from the Mom’s Choice Awards!

Gr 1–3—This imaginative confidence builder celebrates the brain power of children and the amazing abilities of various creatures. Kids are asked to imagine what it would be like to have certain animal traits (to be fast like a falcon, armored like an armadillo, etc.), and the text gives additional information. Brightly colored backgrounds and a comic book—style font make for a splashy presentation. There is a good amount of original photography here mixed with stock. A tiny cartoon superhero appears in each spread, dressed up to resemble the topic animal. The lack of documentation or source material is a drawback, but the text and illustrations are well designed, and the uplifting tone is sure to hook readers. VERDICT A fast read just right for superhero aficionados looking to dip into animal science.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
