Good Morning, Superman!

By Michael Dahl and Omar Lozano

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird. It's a plane. It's the... SUN! When morning comes, a young boy must prepare for his day, faster than a speeding bullet. Follow along as he leaps tall buildings (jumps out of bed) in a single bound, dons his heroic uniform (his clothes), and faces his greatest weakness (Kryptonite-colored toothpaste). Then it's up, up, and away to daycare! The perfect companion to the best-selling author Michael Dahl's Bedtime for Batman, this official DC Comics picture book will have Superman fans young and old delighting in their morning routines. Includes a morning routine checklist.

Reviews for Good Morning, Superman!

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a companion book to Bedtime For Batman, only this one is about morning routines. It will become a favourite of superhero fans. The difference in this book is that there are also female superheros so that girls will be able to identify with the story unlike the last one.

This book shows a boy and Superman going about their routine and doing sort of the same things. Superman leaps tall buildings, the little boy leaps out of bed, Superman shows his secret uniform and the little boy gets dressed and so on. I think you get the idea here. At one point in the story his sister with her supergirl outfit helps him to pack his backpack and talks about Superman's friends sometimes help him out. A really cute idea.

The illustrations are large, colourful and detailed. The little boy is quite cute, pretending he is Superman. This could easily become a favourite story and help little ones to get ready quicker in the morning. I recommend this book to all family libraries.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Delightful! This is a companion book to last year's "Goodnight, Batman" and is as wonderful. It's written in a soothing tone like "Goodnight Moon" which it is obviously emulating. The illustrations show Superman and the little boy doing the same things such as "when duty calls" Supe sees trouble he must attend to while the little boy has to go potty and when Superman faces Lex Luther, "his greatest fears", the little boy faces his toothbrush. Any little Superman fan will adore this!
