Do Super Heroes Have Teddy Bears?
Two very young, would-be super heroes explore the world around them in this lively tale. Follow along with the rhyming text as they build a getaway spaceship from boxes and tape, save their stuffed animals from certain peril, and escape the tickle monster!
After five successful books in the Do Princesses . . . series, Carmela turns her attention to a different childhood fantasy in this wonderful story about imagination and play.
Carmela’s oldest child, Nicki, with her fearless plush shark, Swimmy, was always creating something adventurous out of cardboard. She recalls, “And off Nicki, Annie, and I would go saving the world inside Nicki’s makeshift spaceships and submarines.” Now, she’s hoping children everywhere will discover that being a super hero may not be all that far-reaching after all . . .

Reviews:
“A truly lovely little book!”—The Garden Window
“. . .always fun, portraying an idyllic existence that includes lots of outdoor adventures, an impressive array of pretend play props, an improbably expressive teddy bear, and a pet dog with superhero aspirations of his own.”—Publishers Weekly
“From making blanket capes to cardboard spaceships, this book is a nostalgic romp through a child’s imagination. Funny and charming, with a great message about being an everyday hero, it will surely win the hearts and youngsters and their adult counter parts. Bright, interesting, and comical illustrations with whimsical touches highlight the text well.” —School Library Journal
