Book
Melvin Beederman Superhero: Invasion From Planet Dork by Greg Trine, with art by Rhode Montijo (Henry Holt, $22). Available at amazon.ca
Reluctant readers will love Melvin Beederman, math genius and child
superhero extraordinaire, as he continues his tongue-and-cheek antics facing
down aliens from planet Dork, even if he hasn’t quite mastered the art of
takeoffs and landings. Sprinkled with a healthy dose of cartoon
illustrations, the latest in this smart series teaches teamwork and
tolerance and will engage both boys and girls. —Dan Blackwell
