Publisher Description
For little girls who love Ladybug Girl and Fancy Nancy, here’s the perfect story to share on any day you’re filled with love!
“Today I am Superlove! There will be love, a wedding, and happily ever after.”
So begins the day of one young girl who decides to stage a wedding between her stuffed animal, Mr. Mittens, and Pinky—her cat. Pinky is less than thrilled with the idea, even when Superlove dresses up as the flower girl and arranges some practice weddings between her other stuffed animals. Will Superlove get Pinky out of the tree in time to be the blushing bride? Or will she come up with another way to save the day?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An exuberant girl with ginger pigtails adopts the identity of Superlove and stages a slew of backyard weddings. Her stuffed animals serve as brides, grooms, and guests, with couplings that include a purple dinosaur and mouse ("Mimi and Mr. Munchkins get married"), as well as an octopus and a gangly blue mouse ("Sabrina and Orcky get married"). But Superlove's determined efforts to marry off everyone in sight are thwarted when she can't get her pet cat, Pinky, down from the tree. Superlove's parents step in to save the day by walking down the aisle themselves ("and this time you can be there, too"). Chambers's expressive cartoons provide many moments of humor, but Harper's story offers a narrow vision of girls' romantic fantasies. "Oh, Mommy, Superlove doesn't wear blue," the girl tells her mother, opting for a striped pink dress with a pink heart on it. Ages 5 8.
