Written and Illustrated by Deb Pilutti
This friendly book has a well-deserved, descriptive title. There are evidently 10 rules for Captain Magma, the superhero, in this book. He and his sidekick, Lava Boy, happen to tell a pictorial story of the rules while playing together. There are some short stories with some of the rules to illustrate them better. There aren’t a lot of words in the book, but it seems children will enjoy rereading this story many times and finding some of the subtle humor and small details in the illustrations. The boys in my first grade class loved it.
