An interesting young graphic novel that emphasizes the importance of friendship, and being a responsible person. While the protagonist learns responsibility through babysitting and superheroing, the friends offer support and help as much as they can in both aspects.
Overall, this is a book that seems to serve the purpose of being a gentle lesson to children on how to be a good person. It is a very easy, quick read and rather wholesome.
THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS ADVANCE REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.
Super Hero is female which doesn't happen a lot. The illustrations were cute. Bonus, The hero was trying to put some effort toward school.
Megan Wagner Lloyd's "Super Pancake and the Mini Muffin Mayhem," gave me nostalgic vibes. In a manner that's reminiscent of Dav Pilkey and Jeff Kinney, Lloyd manages to tell a more creative and feminine superhero tale. And who doesn't love a book about breakfast food?! Adorably bad behaved mini muffins and a croissant sidekick? Sounds like an amazing gig! I'm confident that any further tales of Super Pancake will be just as amazing.
Thanks to Random House Children's, Knopf Books for Young Readers for the copy of this book!
I read this with my 6 and 8-year-olds in two sittings, and they loved it! It’s a graphic novel set up much like Dog Man, except in this book, we get lots of breakfast art and puns. Our favorite was the syrup car the pancake family drove. Both of my kiddos could read this - so it was a win for entertainment and reading practice!
Some things I particularly enjoyed about this book is that the main character is a superhero pancake who is also assumed to be female. The character faces real world issues having trouble completing her schoolwork and staying awake during class due to other activities and responsibilities. I think this is a reality that many kids have today and is very relatable. My only issue with this book is that it is part of a series and since I wasn’t familiar with the storyline from previous books, this one felt like I wasn’t as engaged in the story. Overall this was a fun and enjoyable story for any young reader.
