There used to be a little boy I saw every day at school when dropping off my daughter who was never without his cape. He would leap off the benches in the playground and run as fast as he could to make the cape stream out behind him! I now have my own small boy who has a Superman costume who enjoys 'flying'. There's a big attraction in being 'super' when you're only very small. Max is only a very small mouse, so he is very small indeed, but his story shows us that size doesn't matter. Things start out discouragingly for Max, however, as various baddies get the better of him. He's so fed up he hangs up his cape and gives up.

The artwork through the story is very colourful, with lots of movement and action. There are small hints of comic book panels on some pages, a nice introduction to the comic book style for little readers. I like all the sounds in jagged bubbles such as ''yee-harr!'' and ''ka-pow!'' Max himself is a sweet little mouse who wears large Clark Kent-style glasses when not in his superhero costume! The story works well as a read-aloud book, and would be good for sharing in playgroups and nurseries with large groups listening, or on a one-to-one basis. A good toddler introduction to superheroes!
