I was so excited to see they had a wonder woman book. Batman and superman were given to us as a gift. It makes since that they would make one cause she's apart of the justice league holy trinity, but come on! Could they have made her more of a Barbie?!! She could easily beat up batman and is almost as strong as superman and yet all the book talks about is how pretty her accessories are. I want my son to grow up have respect for both male and female superheroes. How is he supposed to relate to this rendition of wonder woman. And how are my girls to understand that they are valued for more than just their beauty when this is what they are given to look up to. I understand that women are objectified in comics, but let's not downplay the things that make them powerful! Also, where's the touch and feel? Batman has a moving batmobile, glow in the dark bat signal, and slides back and forth on a bat rope. Superman has krypto that you can pet and a silky cape. Wonder woman has shiney boots that don't give her any powers, a sparkily cape and jewels, and a lasso that you can't do anything with.
We have all three of the My First Superhero books, and we just don't care for this one. Yes, yes, I know women are objectified often in comics, but talking about how pretty her boots are just irritate the heck out of me. It is also the worst written of the three and seems like it was an "Oh we need a female character my first book, let's get out the old dart board aaaaannd.... There! It will be about wonderwoman" and then proceeded to write the book pretty much in the same way. The touch and feel is also the least imaginative and worst executed.
This is the second Wonder Woman book we got for our toddler. We also got Wonder Woman: The Story of an Princess and at the same time someone gave my daughter Superheroes: Opposites, another hero-themed board book with multiple DC universe heroes. (It was my kid's birthday.)Looking at all of these, this is the book to get for your kiddo who likes Wonder Woman! My kid won't even look at the other two mentioned. (The opposites book is way too boring and simplistic, even for a toddler. And the princess story is too dense and doesn't really have cohesion. My daughter just looses interest because it's more historical/origin than an action story.)It has engaging pictures and a story that is easy to understand. My three-year-old also likes to touch all the different textures (shiny boots, lasso). It could have more touch stuff, but it's fine in that department. The winning part of this is the mirror at the end which shows a reflection of the kid and says they can be heroes.I agree with other reviewers that this book could be better in some ways, but just in comparing it to other Wonder Woman board books (or hero books with WW in them), this one is the one my kid asks to read. The other ones are buried or under the bed. I think she actually hid one of them because she dislikes it that much!My advice is this: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. We need more strong female protagonists in kid's books! This is not the best pro-girl book for toddlers, but it sure as hell beats another boring princess book about nothing interesting at all.
My husband has been really into all the super heroes ever since he was little, as I'm sure a lot of boys were and probably still are. I really knew nothing about them until I decided to purchase my two year old a couple. I gave them to her for Christmas and she really took to them. We both really enjoy reading them together and have both learned so many name of superheroes and what their powers are. But what I love most about these books, is that its not really all about the superhero, they teach lessons, and they teach things like colors, shapes, words, counting, and body parts. They really are wonderful books - I let my daughter choose one of these books every night and we read together at bed time. My toddler and I started collecting all of them and we both get really excited when they arrive in the mail. My daughter started to think that the mail man was just giving them to us as gifts, as if I didn't have to buy them lol. We have collected every one and they are releasing another one next week which we have already pre ordered and are super excited about. The books are a great price and arrive quickly. I hope they continue to make these books because we really love collecting them and enjoy reading them. She is even starting to remember the words and "reads" along with me!
I love Wonder Woman and was looking for an interactive touch and feel book for my ten month old. This book is not touch and feel at all. Most of the 'interactive' portions are flat and maybe a little shiny, not really going to draw the attention of a young baby. I also agree with others that this was all about her gadgets and not really about her strength.
I'm docking 1 star because the only "interactive features" (as advertised on the back) are really the sparkly cape on page 1, the golden lasso on pg 2, and the mirror on the last page. The boots (they are shiny), airplane (sort of iridescent), and bracelet (the bracelets are metallic, but not textured) pages are don't have anything on them that my 11 month old baby really cares about trying to touch/feel. But I still like the book and overall she likes the pictures and likes learning about Wonder Woman.
