I'm not usually the kind of person who picks up #9 of a series, but seeing a superhero book for children with a disabled character on the front cover made me curious.

I'm definitely going to have to have a look into this series as it was such a fun read.
A sports day for superhero families, with each chapter being the next competition.

It would be great fun to get the kids replicating these races and games in PE, or using it to link to a school family fun sports day.

I loved the little black and white pop-art/ comic inspired illustrations, and the inclusion of Mia's punnily named superhero friends such as Allie Oomph (a speedy superhero with prosthetic legs) and Ben Ocular with his guide dog Seeker!

I read the 'little red riding hood' retelling from this series yesterday and rated it the same. I really wanted to like them but they just feel like they fall a little flat for me.
They have good clear messages, and I like the concept, but the stories themselves feel lacking. I would probably have them in my book corner, but I'm not sure they'd be lesson material.

A very sweet story about Otto, a little elephant and his Nanu, going on an adventure across the plains to Lion Mountain.
However, when Nanu starts to forget things, including the way back home, Otto must remind her and himself to be brave, fast and strong.

A beautifully illustrated early reader - which I'm getting very used to in the Colour Illustrations Little Tiger series.
