Review: Tarsier Man - the new superhero in kid lit
Rating: 5 out of 5

A fun story about the birth of a new superhero, Tarsier Man. This book is fully illustrated, and is written in rhyme. The rhymes themselves are very clever and the rhythm and flow of each line is natural, often mimicking an iambic meter (the pattern of alternating between unstressed and stressed syllables), which makes for a very natural, conversational sort of style that is very easy and fun to read.The story is creative and fun, using an unusual animal as its protagonist, and detailing his origin story. For the short length of the book, Tasier Man's adventures are exciting and well thought out, and the character himself is an interesting do-gooder (for the most part) that kids are sure to love.If I were a mother checking out books to buy for her child, I would definitely give this book a go.
