Great book for my super-hero loving toddler. We have all of the This is series (Spiderman, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Thor, Xmen, and Avengers). They are great introductions to the characters with good illustrations.
I enjoyed reading this level 1 story about Captain America. It basically tells how he became the super hero. It is written well and the illustrations complement the text. It will keep your young reader engaged.A child reading this story will be able to relate to Steve's disappointment when he did not qualify for the army. The reader will celebrate with him as he becomes stronger and his identity changes to Captain America.This is a good beginning reader book for a child that enjoys super heroes.*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
I tutor small children in reading, and this entire line of books is so helpful, though I particularly like this one because it's got some great lessons about persevering despite of adversity. The language is just right for an early reader who's just switching over from phonics flashcards and the like to actual books, and the subject gets kids super (pun intended) excited. Also, comics are really adult-oriented these days, so if you have a superhero-loving four or five year old, this is your best bet.
I bought this book for my toddler because he loves all things Captain America (and Hulk). Perhaps it's my fault for not thoroughly researching this Level 1 book beforehand, but I assumed this would be about Captain America fighting bad guys. VERY VERY WRONG. It's solely about Steve Rogers. There are roughly 30 pages in this book, and half of them picture a shirtless Steve Rogers. We wanted Captain America!!
My son is big into Captain America at the moment and he also loves reading books, where he can sit and read many books after one another, staying focused up to an hour just reading different stories. While this story explains the back story of Captain America, following the first movie, it was lengthy and wordy for a Level 1 reader. My son was able to sit and stay focused for the whole book, but I attribute that to his focus with being read to, and I can easily see other children not staying interested with how the book is written or intrigued enough with the pictures. I work with kids birth to three years old, and the majority of my clients would not be able to stay focused with this story. I think this book is a good fit for those aged 4-6, and will not keep the interest of most children under that range.
Great for young readers, but is too advanced for a beginning reader.
Finally a series of books that my 5-year old is motivated to try to read by himself!
My son loves these - bright big pictures and big easy to read text
