Review

Superheroes are all the rage and Wedgieman fits the bill . Though his true name is Veggieman, he knows enough to realize that kids will love him even more if he is willing to change his name to Wedgieman every now and then. Not only can he fly, lift whole buildings and multiply huge numbers, but he also is willing to make fun of himself by performing self-wedgies. Of course, this alone will delight the targeted audience, but add to that the fact that Bad Dude has built a Powerful Ordinary-Object Phaser that can make things huge or tiny and add the fact that the acronym for this machine is POOP and little ones will be laughing until their stomachs ache. Wedgieman/Veggieman delights children with lots of yummy vegetable treats. One wonders if this superhero series will truly make children think eating vegetables is preferable to sugary snacks, but it is worth a try. Level 3 readers will find this offering both amusing and challenging and one cannot ask for more than that.

Overall Book Score: very good
