Pasta Man has run out of Pasta Power. . . Can our young hero help him to get his powers back and defeat evil Madame Chilli, who wants to rule the world with lashings of chilli sauce?
With action-packed adventure and bright, detailed artwork, this is the ultimate fun-filled counting storybook!
In every preschool or infant class, you’ll find fans of Supertato and his hilarious crew of vegetable friends (not forgetting his nemesis, Evil Pea). Written by husband and wife team Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, the books are enjoyed by readers who like a high dose of action and unlikely characters who mean business.
We’ve put together a list of ten similar books for fans of Supertato. Readers looking for more stories about food brought to life might enjoy The Runaway Pea or Ten Fat Sausages. For more larger-than-life funny characters you’ll love, try Barbara Throws a Wobbler or Octopants. Some readers want more books with unlikely superheroes that save the day after reading Supertato, and we recommend the super-cool eight-legged secret agent Spyder, the cheesy adventures of Supermouse or the action-packed Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs. If you’re searching for more superhero tales, try Knock-Knock Superhero or head over to our Superheroes topic booklist.
Browse the full list below of books for children looking for what to read next after Supertato…
It’s time for tea, but one pesky pea has decided to ping himself off the plate in search of a party!
The rogue pea shoots, flings and bounces across the kitchen as he embarks on his perilous adventure – but will he find the fun he is looking for or is the kitchen a scarier place than he thought?
This quirky caper from debut duo Kjartan Poskitt and Alex Willmore will show you just what can happen when you take your eye off your dinner for a second!
Supermouse is BACK! But with crime on the rise in Mouseopolis and trouble brewing at Mount Fondue, could this job be too much for one mouse to handle? It’s time to call for some back-up. This action-packed adventure is oozing with fun-filled lift-the-flaps, peep-through pages, and fiery fondue. Can you take the heat?
Ten fat sausages sizzling in the pan… decide to escape, if they can!
Come on a great escape through the kitchen as we follow each sausage that decides to make a run for it. Will they succeed or will the cat, blender, plug hole or fan prove their downfall? Michelle Robinson’s no-holds-barred humour is perfectly matched by Tor Freeman’s mad-cap artwork. Hilarious and merciless, this tale will have you hooting out loud.
From the creators of Mince Spies , Santa Jaws and Jingle Smells comes another hilarious romp that’s guaranteed to make you laugh this summer!
This is the story of a little hot dog who longs for just one thing: to be a REAL dog. But when the Mustard Fairy makes his dreams come true, will he be accepted by the other dogs? Or will he have to fight for his place in the sun?
Packed with beaches, sunshine, ice cream and seaside silliness galore.
The Couch Potato has everything within reach and doesn’t have to move from the sunken couch cushion. But when the electricity goes out, Couch Potato is forced to peel away from the comforts of the living room and venture outside. Could fresh air and sunshine possibly be better than the views on screen?
Readers of all ages will laugh along as their new best spuddy learns that balancing screen time and playtime is the root to true happiness.
Flinn is at school looking in the art cupboard for some coloured pens to finish off his dinosaur drawing when he stumbles upon Captain Stubble, a real live Pirate Captain! He tells Flinn that his ship, the Acorn, has been stolen and that he needs Flinn to help him rescue it back. Stubble makes Flinn the captain and they sail away on an old pirate ship…they finally find the Acorn but, to their horror, realise it’s been stolen by PIRATE DINOSAURS! Captain Flinn and his crew attack the dinosaurs and, after much fighting, seize control of the ship once more. Flinn and his friends then sail back to the harbour clambering through the boatshed door and back into the art cupboard without the teacher even noticing they’ve been gone!
The perfect pants are hard to find for someone shaped like me. Could Octopants be just the job? Why not dive in and see . . .?
There are all-in-ones for urchins and slipper-socks for eels… but will Octopus ever find a pair of pants to fit? A hilarious rhyming romp, packed with underwater underwear!
With an action outfit for every occasion, Traction Man patrols the house. Whether he is saving toys (in latex space suit and Perspex helmet, teamed with Rocket Boots); searching the sink for the lost wreck of the sieve (in sub-aqua suit, fluorescent flippers and infra-red mask) or rescuing damsels in distress (in jungle pants, camouflage vest and a bandanna), Traction Man is never less than stylishly turned out and expertly accessorised. He is the last word in heroic fashion flair – until, that is, the day that he is presented with an all-in-one knitted green romper suit and matching bonnet by his owner’s granny. Can Traction Man overcome the humiliation of his desperately dowdy new look and rediscover the action hero within or will the burden of the knitted green monstrosity be too great?
