Been buying a lot of level 1 & 2 superhero, star wars, indiana jones, curious george books and a few other miscellaneous ones to read to my 4 year old son. Until this one all have been at least mildly entertaining to both the child and the parent. The story in this book is about as complex as a pop-up book for a 2 year old. We don't have really high expectations for these books either, but there are many, many other books at this level that are much more interesting than this one.
Great for a 6-year old learning to read. Good content, good pics, and maintained his interest unlike some of the other learn to read books.
...but there is a better series of childrens books in the Marvel universe. More on that in a moment.Compared to Super Hero Squad: Meet the Super Hero Squad! (Marvel Super Hero Squad Readers), this book at least has a plot. It's not much of a plot, but there's a plot (but on the contrary, offers little to no introduction to the characters or their backgrounds). That being said, as others noted, it's better as a "learning to read" book than a "superhero bedtime story" book.If you're looking for "superhero bedtime story" and aren't a diehard DC fan, Marvel (post Disney acquisition) has a series of books that are exceptional. See The Amazing Spider-Man Storybook Collection (Disney Storybook Collections) for a Spider-Man story collection (by far the best deal) or any of the individual character books like The Mighty Thor: An Origin Story or The Incredible Hulk: An Origin Story or The Invincible Iron Man: An Origin Story (there are many others, and they should be easy to find using 's "Customers who bought this also bought" section). I haven't seen anything featuring DC characters (Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, etc.) that are similar to date.
My daughter Is crazy about superheroes and just loved this book. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's just for boys it's perfect for any young reader. I only wish they had included Wonder Woman like the Comic does.
My son does not love to read, but was excited to see this book. He loves the Justice League. So few of the super hero books are at a level that he can read. I hope they make more like this one.
My son likes the lego super friend books better, but this one is okay. One plus with all these books in this series is that he spends a lot of time looking at the pictures by himself. Always nice when little kids pick up books on their own.
We love this book, has all your popular DC superheroes. Nice to have one at Level 1, most are 2.
Getting my grandson interested in reading can be difficult. The normal "learn to read" type books do just that, with no story, cool characters or anything to grab his attention and interest. The normal "See Spot Run" was enough to make my grandson want to "run" from books and reading.Though even this book lacks much story line. The Superhero theme alone was enough for him to smile and WANT to learn what the words say!!
