Superdad's Day Off: A lovely celebration of father–son bonds and the importance of family, wrapped up in a wonderful extraordinary story that is sure to appeal to young superhero fans! (Little Gems)

It is a nice book. I bought it as a class read for my Year 2 children. They have enjoyed it so far but it’s almost finished. I was hoping for something a little longer. I think it would have been more suitable for perhaps Year 1 age. Nice book but not exactly what I was hoping for in terms of length and detail.

Really cute little book. Perfect for my 5 year old. Great pics, great writing!

Loved it

My nearly 6yo son absolutely loves Little Gem's and this book was a particular hit... he couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting. He rated it 10/10.

I was so excited to find out that the wonderful and ridiculously talented Phil Earle was writing a ‘Little Gem’ book for Barrington Stoke because for me his books are sheer perfection. ‘Superdad’s Day Off’ is no exception, he delivers a punchy tale packed with wit and heart. Meet Stanley, an ordinary boy whose Dad just happens to be the world’s greatest superhero except on a Friday when he spends the day with his son. Yet the world seems to want to get in the way of their quality time by throwing panthers stuck up trees, shark infested waters and monster trucks with flat tyres in their path. It’s up to Stanley to save the day so that he can protect his special time with his Dad. Steve May’s bold illustrations capture the chaos and carnage unfolding magnificently. At the heart of this story is the importance of family and the time they spend together, bravo Phil Earle you’ve done it again another superb tale!
