Book Synopsis

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird. It's a plane. It's the... SUN! When morning comes, a young boy must prepare for his day, faster than a speeding bullet. Follow along as he leaps tall buildings (jumps out of bed) in a single bound, dons his heroic uniform (his clothes), and faces his greatest weakness (Kryptonite-colored toothpaste). Then it's up, up, and away to daycare! The perfect companion to the best-selling author Michael Dahl's Bedtime for Batman, this official DC Comics picture book will have Superman fans young and old delighting in their morning routines. Includes a morning routine checklist.

Review Quotes

Following fast on the cape of Bedtime for Batman (2016) comes an exciting tale that puts a little boy's daytime activities into heroic context. Utilizing dramatic, stylized art reminiscent of Superman comics, this story depicts a young African American boy going through the challenges of the morning, juxtaposing his daily routine with panels and facing pages that show mild-mannered Clark Kent transforming into his superhero persona.-- "Booklist Online"

Just like superman, a young boy prepares for the day in a systematic way -- go potty (duty calls), get dressed (reveal secret uniform), eat breakfast (gather strength), and so forth. This would be a great book to read to remind kids what they need to do each morning.-- "Imagination Soup"

The hero of this book isn't Superman, but a little boy waking up and getting dressed for school. Kids (and parents) who have a hard time getting going in the mornings will love the recognition that some days just getting out of bed is a heroic feat. . . .It's hard to resist the joy of starting a new day that author Michael Dahl and artist Omar Lozano put in the pages of Good Morning, Superman. Pick it up anytime your family's day needs a superpowered boost.-- "Geek Dad"

This quick read includes a Morning Checklist for little readers who may forget a thing or two in their morning routines. Little ones that adore the Last Son of Krypton will go gaga for this quickly paced, brightly colored, action-packed read. An excellent resource for parents attempting to wrangle their little superheroes' powers for good.-- "Kirkus Reviews"

Young readers will chuckle, as will their caregivers, when the child has to call upon his courage to face his greatest weakness: kryptonite green toothpaste. Illustrations that appear to be digitally created are full of movement and zest, matching the chipper tone of this breezy text. Consider for purchase in collections with heavily trafficked preschool picture books that introduce concepts and tasks. Young superhero lovers will also enjoy this imaginative take on a typical morning routine.-- "School Library Journal"
