Overview

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superbaby! A delightful read-aloud picture book about the adventures babies enjoy between naptimes.

Superbaby is UP! UP!
And awake . . .

With the help of some parental guidance, Superbaby performs feats that dazzle and amaze, zooming through the skies, building toy-block cities (and knocking them down), and leaping over “mountains”. When Superbaby is tired, she soars into her energy pod to rest up for another big day.

Superbaby shares the delightful story of a baby at play. Author Stephanie Parsley Ledyard’s encouraging, onomatopoetic text from the perspective of a loving parent is accompanied by buoyant Illustrations by Lincoln Agnew, making for a wonderful read aloud to be shared with exceptional babies everywhere.

PreS-Gr 1—Superbaby is no ordinary baby. She can blast off into the sky and fly through the air. Superbaby can build cities and knock the buildings down. Catching runaway trains is an easy feat. What readers see are normal baby activities, but all are given a super spin; she thrives on growth potion but will need her stink shield activated afterward. After she recharges (naps), she's ready to zip off to her next adventure. Superbaby is an adorable depiction of a baby and her adventures throughout the day. Smudged crayons work together with digital technology to create textured and colorful spreads that are a joy to look at and read. Each page has up to a few sentences, with some of the words appearing in a larger font and in different colors; all combined, this is a fun book and a great read-aloud. Superbaby has pale skin, her brother has yellow hair, as does her pale father, while her mother has curly black hair and tan skin. They are a truly super family. VERDICT This super picture book is a grand purchase.—Myiesha Speight

Face it: Grown-ups don’t stand a chance against babies.
Who knew such small, cute, cuddly, and innocent-looking beings were so capable? There’s a reason for that: Those adorable infants we go gaga over are actually superbabies. They can do just about anything, like blasting off into the air (the accompanying image depicts the arms of a loving adult flinging the little one into the air). Superbabies can make bananas disappear without leaving so much as a mushy trace behind, and don’t even ask about the decibel levels a superbaby’s caterwauling can achieve. Of course, every self-respecting superbaby needs to recharge (aka take a nap) and activate their “stink shield” (diaper change, anyone?) every now and then before performing other astonishing feats, like saving the world from “green slime” (the image portrays the little one knocking her meal off a highchair). And when it looks like someone’s superpowers are fading, there’s just enough time for kisses and storytime before Superbaby hits the sack to get ready for the next superday. This sweet, witty, knowing book will thoroughly delight listeners and their carers and will make a perfect gift for baby showers and new parents. The charming, lively illustrations featuring a pale-skinned, wide-eyed infant wearing a bandanna atop her blond head were created digitally and with pencil crayon. (This book was reviewed digitally.)
When it comes to softening the toughest hearts, no one’s better than a superbaby. (Picture book. 2-4)
