Superheroes Need Sleep! Bedtime for Superheroes by Katherine Locke

EVERYBODY KNOWS superheroes have busy days!

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BEING A SUPERHERO IS HARD AND MESSY WORK!

Besting bad guys requires the right gear--anywhere from tutus and tights to capes and coats, hoods and cowls. Some superheroes go undercover in ordinary tees and jeans!

Fighting evil generates a lot of noise, too!

BASHES AND BAMS! CRASHES AND KAPOWS! ZAPS AND ZOINKS!

Superheroes have to be versatile--able to fight octopuses and robots, natural disasters and dinosaurs in any setting, from the library to the grocery, as well as in shadowy alleys! It's yucky work!

EVERYBODY KNOWS BAD-GUY GOO--STICKY, STAINS, SMEARS, AND SPLATS!

BLECH!

It's hard work, but somebody's got to do it! But when the sun goes down, superheroes need baths and toothbrushing--and bedtime! Wherever they snooze, from beddie-bye to rocket ship, everybody agrees...

SUPERHEROES NEED SLEEP!

Being a kid requires a lot of super-duper powers to get through the day, and Katherine Locke's Bedtime for Superheroes (Running Press Kids, 2020), affirms that bedtime is sometimes one of the most demanding deeds of the day for both parent and child, with ordinary little heroes who require that special magic--sleep--that helps them grow and polish their powers. Artwork by Rayanne Viera shows all kinds of superkids doing super deeds with zest and settling down to sleep as well. Share this one with Shelly Becker's Even Superheroes Have Bad Days.
