MY DAD, MY HERO
Book ID/图书代码： 12311014B74822
English Summary/英文概要： A young child starts off this laugh-out-loud picture book by listing all the ways his dad is NOT a superhero: he can’t leap tall buildings, run faster than a speeding bullet, or shoot webs out of his wrists.
Each spread illustrates how Dad doesn’t have super powers but is still a hero at heart. The sweet ending depicts all the cool-if not super-activities Dad does do with the child, like throwing a baseball, playing checkers and going toy shopping.
Ethan Long’s spot-on artwork perfectly accompanies this super funny and super sweet story.
Praise for Ethan Long:
"A nicely illustrated tale that speaks volumes about the bond between a dad and his son...a great story that will be perfect as a gift for any dad or son." -The New York Journal of Books
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从小孩的视角出发，这本让人笑出声的图画书列举了他的爸爸不是一个超级英雄的各种理由：他不能从一幢高楼跳到另一幢，他不能跑得比子弹快，他不能从手腕这里发射出蜘蛛丝。
每一幅插图都说明了爸爸没有超能力但仍旧是自己心中的英雄。甜美的结局更是描绘所有爸爸能做到的超级行动，包括扔棒球，玩象棋，买玩具等等。Ethan Long的插图完美地展现了这个有趣而且很温馨的小故事。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：配图很美好的故事，讲述了父子之间的羁绊。一个很好的故事，对于爸爸或者儿子而言都是非常棒的礼物。（《纽约图书期刊》）
很了不起的创意，将爸爸和超级英雄做比较。Long了解如何挑起足够的笑料，却又不至于觉得是存心在插科打诨，除了那些怪癖，男孩的爸爸至少有一件事确实做得很好：“我的爸爸和我一起度过很多时光。”这样，小男孩最终明白了谁才是真正的英雄。（Booklist 2011-03-15）
书中自有淡淡的幽默和美感，Long的故事是真诚的，并不会太矫情，恰是父亲们会喜欢的节奏。适合4-8岁。（Publishers Weekly 2011-04-04）
"It’s a savvy move to compare dads and superheroes... Long knows how to poke just enough fun at Dad without crossing the line into buffoonery; despite his foibles, the boy’s father clearly does one thing very well: "My dad does spend a lot of time with me." At the end of the day...the little boy knows exactly who his real hero is." - Booklist (Booklist 2011-03-15)
"Dads are often elevated to superhero status in the eyes of their kids, but Long turns this concept on its ear with hilarious results. Choosing a cartoon style and humor equally reminiscent of both Mo Willems and Garfield of comic-strip fame...this title aims at the funny bone. ...after the son comes to the end of his amusing list of what dad is unable to do, readers can laugh equally hard at dad’s attempts to be the best father possible. Parents will chuckle with empathy at dad’s comedic, stretched-thin patience as he spends quality time with his son. All ends well with a big hug and no doubt that this dad is "really super.../ and definitely" a "hero."" - Kirkus (Kirkus 2011-04-01)
"Powered by a Roy Lichtenstein meets Sunday funnies aesthetic and a self-effacing sense of humor, Long’s story is sincere without being saccharine--which dads will appreciate. Ages 4–8. (Apr.)" - Publishers Weekly (Publishers Weekly 2011-04-04)
