Blurb:

Honey, an inquisitive young parakeet living in the Australian Outback, decides to become a superhero after she spies a human family watching Superman. Since she already has the power of flight, all she needs to do is create a costume to conceal her true identity and then fly off in search of animals that need rescuing.

Unfortunately, every time she tries to help, Honey only ends up making matters worse. She spoils Kangaroo’s game of hide-and-go-seek by revealing his hiding place to Wallaby; Mr. Anteater must go hungry when she alerts the ants to his presence, and Mrs. Koala is made a laughingstock among bears when Honey pretends to be her Joey. Finally realizing that she’s not as heroic as she’d like, Honey gives up her day-saving efforts.

But what happens when someone actually needs Honey’s help? Will she rise to the challenge?

My Review 

Honey the Hero by Emlyn Chand is an sweet, enchanting tale which encourages children to help each other.  Set in Australia, with well drawn illustrations of animals native to the region, Ms. Chand's tale is an inspiration to be the best we can be and look beyond ourselves.  While written for the 4-6 year old age group, I found the story cute and entertaining.

Inspired by something she sees through a window, Honey, the youngest bird in her nest, is determined to become a superhero.  Using a large leaf as her cape, and a thick blade of grass with two holes for her eyes as her mask, Honey roams the wildness looking for others to rescue.  While her intent is generous and grand - her execution occasionally falls short and lands her in trouble.  

When Honey's superhero attempts fall short, will she listen to the instructions of her mother?  Will Honey get another chance at helping others?  You'll have to read Honey the Hero to find out.  Perfect for a small child or even a classroom setting, Ms. Chand's story is a great tool for teaching the lesson of helping your neighbor.  

My Rating:  4 out of 5 Crowns
