Even Superheroes Have Bad Days -- Shelly Becker - Hardcover

"Full of action and vibrancy. . . .A good way to soothe bad days away." --School Library Journal

When Superheroes don't get their way,
when they're sad, when they're mad, when they've had a bad day . . .
. . . they COULD super-tantrum, they COULD but they DON'T,
because REAL Superheroes just WOULDN'T--they WON'T

All kids have trouble getting a grip on their emotions, sometimes--even young superheroes But what do they do when they're having a bad day? Colorful action-packed illustrations and a dynamite rhyming text reveal the many ways superheroes (and ordinary children, too) can resist the super-temptation to cause a scene when they're sad, mad, frustrated, lonely, or afraid. From burning off steam on a bike or a hike, to helping others, this energetic picture book has plenty of fun ideas to help kids cope when they're feeling overwhelmed.
