I wanted to love this as much as Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude, but the story was....dumb.

A sequel to the great, Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude, Superbaby follows the adventures of Motor Cycle Dude and Princess Tenderheart's baby boy. And the two young authors who created the whole cast of characters. This time Superbaby's parents are kidnapped and he has to rescue them. What follows is a hilarious exchange as each young author in turn, takes the story off in a completely different direction. The story climaxes in a comprise that is at the same time cute and funny.

While not as good as the original, Once Upon a Royal Superbaby is a chuckle filled sequel that both you and your child will enjoy.

What a cute follow-up to Once Upon A Cool Motorcycle Dude! This time the boy gets to start the story with a different kind of motorcycle dude: a king with a pretty sweet motorcycle as his steed, going after the dragon. Of course, the girl brings in the beautiful queen and turns it into a more feminine fairy tale with the king at the queen’s beck and call. She is also the one who decides that the king and queen have a baby, named Sweet Piper. She gives the baby a cute super power, but then the boy takes back the story and renames the baby Strong Viper and gives him his own motorcycle. From there comes the climax of the story, the big battle, and both the boy and the girl compromise on the ending, working together to close their story.

I thought Once Upon A Royal Superbaby was even funnier than its predecessor. I laugh-snorted at a few parts, mostly in the boy’s version of the story. He is so imaginative. The illustrations are wonderful - the boy’s version of the story has a cartoon feel while the girl’s version contains more realistic illustrations. It is a great, short read for kids with the continuing message of compromise.

Recommended for children seven to nine years of age.

Motorcycle Dude will always rule, but this was fun.
