Super Sam!

(3) PS Illustrated by Sue Ramá. A boy playing superhero meets his toughest challenge when he accidentally steps on his worshipful baby brother's finger; fortunately, it's nothing that a security blanket can't fix. Between the book's minimal text ("Run, Super Sam! / Fly, Super Sam!"), which may remind some readers of John Steptoe's Baby Says, and the loose illustrations featuring crayon, the perspective stays wonderfully childlike throughout.
