DESCRIPTION
Meet Mr. Particular—the world’s choosiest champion! This superhero’s super picky: he says NO to squishy mud, gross green things, tucked-in shirts, humming, and anything with coconut. But, when his friends in the “Super-Duper Group” finally get fed up with his fussiness, can Mr. Particular prove that even the super-squeamish can save the day? This fun comic-book-style story will delight even the most finicky kids! Jason Kirschner started wearing a red towel as a cape right around the time he started walking and was the particularly particular leader of many super-duper groups in his time. By day, Jason is a set designer for television, with credits that include The Meredith Vieira Show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and an amazing fourteen-year stint at The Late Show with David Letterman. By night, Jason is an author and illustrator of children’s books. He lives in Montclair, New Jersey, with his finicky veterinarian wife, persnickety twins, and ridiculously choosy cat.

One afternoon, the Super-Duper Group held an emergency meeting after Mr. Particular accused Lizardbreath of having coconut breath.
We’ve been
talking and . . .
We’re going to
have to let you go.
THAT’S Lizardbreath!
(He probably didn’t eat coconut.)
WHAT?! Why?
You’re too picky! You always
stop us before we
defeat stuff!
Dr. Slimyhands has decided to be a Good Guy now, so she’s gonna join The Group.
Sorry.
