I read The Boy Who Breathed Underwater with my five-year-old son, I have found out one thing since having a son, they love superheroes and are always pretending to have different superpowers. In this book the little boy is just the same, if he had a superpower, he didn’t know which one he would choose, so he wished he could try out some superpowers to see which was best.
A genie granted his wish, every day he had a different superhero power to try.
This was such a fun book to read, every power had pros and cons to it and we were both laughing at certain points during the book.
It was written in rhyme, and the illustrations were fantastic, my son was pointing out what was happening before I had even finished the words on the page.
What we decided at the end of the story was that superhero powers may look fun but there are consequences and perhaps the reason real people don’t have superhero powers is that it’s more fun to play and pretend to have them.
