TY’S TRAVELS: Super Ty

Ty loves superheroes. He watches them on TV and reads books about them.

When he puts on a cape and a mask, he becomes Super Ty! Super Ty flies around helping Momma and others. But even with his super skills, he can’t solve every problem by himself. That’s what Ty’s super friends are for—like his brother!
