PreSchool-Grade 2–The two friends from Kapow! (S & S, 2004) return in an adventure set at the seashore. Although the children are itching to head for the water, the boy's mother makes them stay on the beach to watch his little brother. Changing into the Incredible American Eagle and the Amazing Bug Lady, the duo dubs the younger sibling Manphibian and defeats him by popping his sea-serpent float. With his feelings hurt, he stalks off to sit alone. Unconcerned, the older children continue to play, but when a bully gives them a rough time, they finally understand how the younger boy feels and enlist Manphibian's help in besting the bad guy. The story is told entirely through dialogue balloons and dynamic cartoon artwork. Rather tame, realistic scenes of the ordinary-looking children alternate with action-packed spreads starring their muscle-bound, gracefully athletic, and incredibly courageous alter egos. Rendered in refreshingly bright colors, these comic-book-style scenes are filled with motion, excitement, and even the appropriate exclamations ('FA-ZOOM'). The switches between daily life and a vividly realized imaginary world are easy to follow, and the action-packed presentation eases the lesson on sibling relationships.– Joy Fleishhacker, School Library Journal Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
