(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bryan Langdo. A military father revered by his child is described as possessing powers and characteristics of a superhero. Some of the comparisons work (e.g., invisibility cloak and camouflage) while others are a stretch (laser gun and rifle). The whole thing is fairly shallow but might be useful for children with a parent in the military. Big-hearted watercolor and pencil drawings illustrate the message-y text.
