The seven silliest  superheroes you will ever meet! This comical comic is perfect for first and second graders.

Meet the Super Duper 7! Electro-Elephant can charge your phone. Hip-No-Hippo can put bad guys to sleep. And Hungry Kitty and her four brave birds . . . . But where are the four brave birds?

How can the Super Duper 7 stop crime when Hungry Kitty keeps eating members of the Super Duper team? Maybe a mouse named Mr. Polka dot can help!

"This mid-level beginning-reader comic is silly fun. The cycle of introducing and reintroducing the team allows for repetition that adds to the humor. . . . The panels are rich with detail, but the illustrations also clearly support the plot for less confident readers."—The Horn Book

"An introduction to the comic medium for early readers, this sequential narrative allows participants to predict each new outcome, no matter how silly the results. Hamilton’s pen-and-ink sketches feature delightfully animated characters as well as detailed cityscapes. . . . The perfect blend of quirky and clever, this graphic novel for beginning readers"—School Library Journal
