About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has made a silly but significant mistake and is currently hiding behind humor or avoidance to cope with the guilt. It is perfect for those moments when a child feels the weight of an accident and needs to see that even a superhero can mess up, feel embarrassed, and eventually make it right. In this absurdist graphic novel, Peter Porker (Spider-Ham) receives the key to the city but promptly loses it, leading to a frantic and funny quest to find it before anyone notices. While the tone is fast-paced and zany, the core of the story explores honesty and the courage it takes to admit a blunder. It is an ideal pick for ages 7 to 10, offering a low-pressure way to talk about responsibility through a character who is famously imperfect. Parents will appreciate how it uses a high-stakes superhero setting to mirror the very real childhood anxiety of losing something important.
