About the Books
This ten-book paperback collection brings together the wildly popular Supertato series alongside eight more comic picture books from Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. Supertato and its sequel, Supertato Veggies Assemble, follow a fearless potato superhero as he battles the mischievous Evil Pea to protect his supermarket friends, blending superhero fun with laugh-out-loud vegetable antics. Barry the Fish with Fingers and its follow-up, Barry the Fish with Fingers and the Hairy Scary Monster, introduce an oddball undersea hero whose unusual hands lead to silly, heartwarming adventures. Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell and Keith the Cat with the Magic Hat both celebrate quirky characters who learn to embrace what makes them different, wrapped in Hendra's signature bright, expressive illustration style. Rounding out the set, Doug the Bug that Went Boing!, No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom!, I Need a Wee!, and Gordon's Great Escape each deliver short, high-energy stories built for repeat read-alouds, with simple sentences and big visual jokes that reward children just starting to follow longer picture-book narratives. Across all ten titles, the collection leans on friendship, courage, and self-acceptance, told with a light comic touch. The pacing is brisk, the vocabulary is accessible, and the illustrations do much of the storytelling, making this an ideal set for building reading stamina in a format kids genuinely want to revisit.
