It was bound to happen -- a board book for toddlers about Superman.  When a local produce vendor finds his bananas missing he calls on Superman to find the culprit.  Quickly Superman locates the ape that stole the bananas.  However, getting the truth from the ape about the current whereabouts of the bananas proves tricky.  But, no task is too great for Superman, and in a humorous (at least the youngest readers will think so) ending, Superman solves the mystery of the missing bananas.  Sharp characterization and  primary colors will attract young readers.  Superman appears very masculine and strong, and the ape strangely but aptly shares Superman’s physique. This is perfect for sharing with the youngest fans of superhero adventures.      

Summary: This is a board book that combines superheroes and teaching the value of truth telling. It features fantastic, sharply drawn primary-color illustrations. Bananas are missing from a local vendor and Superman is called in to find the ape that took the bananas. Preschool.
