Do Super Heroes Have Teddy Bears?

Two cape-wearing everyday super heroes take on the real challenges of childhood — muddy play, rescuing stuffed animals, dinner vegetables, and the dark of night — proving heroics come in small, everyday forms.

For the kid who ties a towel around their neck and declares themselves a super hero before breakfast, this book says that counts.
