(3) K-3 Translated by Mara Lethem. Illustrated by Oriol Malet. Max and his pals love superheroes, but Max's favorite is female Megapower (who cares if Martin says, "there is no way a woman superhero can be that strong"?). This Spanish import celebrating superheroes transforms into a celebration of parents through a sweet twist: "the best thing about Megapower" is "when she puts on her Mommy costume." Light watercolors of domestic scenes contrast effectively with the classic-comics-inspired segments.
