Award-winning children's author P.T. Custard presents Kid Canine--Superhero!, a cheerful children's picturebook about a mild mannered pet named Dill who dreams of being a superhero. Unfortunately, poor Dill often thinks there is trouble when there really isn't any! "Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they even look like small, fluffy dogs whose only true superhero power is to make people smile. The best superhero power of them all." The simplistic, colorful illustrations add a charming touch to this gentle story, and the final page has a special treat--a colorful photograph of the real-life Dill! Little dog lovers especially are sure to enjoy this heartwarming storybook.
