Just a warning on this book if it's a gift- my book came with a giant barcode sticker on the cover that was impossible to take off-cleanly.The book itself is great! Super heroes and villains- everything a little kid would love. Illustrations are nice and stories are great for ages 5+.Added some pics to show barcode sticker, illustrations and table of contents.
After reading Super Hero Squad and various DC Comics kids stories I have found this to be the best book for kids 3-10. The stories are quick, they are exciting, the plot flows well, and the art is appealing. Some of the DC and Super Hero Squad stories I've read are such garbage in regards to plot. Plus this has a good variety of Marvel characters. Spiderman, Ironman, Hulk, Avengers, Xmen, Capt. America all with their own unique stories This would work great as a gift also.
The stories are OK. There are 12 stories in it:1. Spiderman -Keep away from Kraven the hunter2. X-Men -The X-men's first mission3. Thor -A Brother's Battle4. Iron Man- Iron Man's new armor5. Spiderman -Spiderman vs Sandman6 Iron Man -Surprise Attack7. Avengers -CAptain America Returns8. Spiderman -Spiderman vs the Sinister Six9. Avengers -Hawkeye and the mighty avengers10. Hulk - Desert Brawl11. Spiderman -Peter Parker's pictures12. Captain America -The lethal lair of Red Skull.Based on the cover I thought there would be more Avenger stories. And I had hoped for less Spiderman stories. The stories themselves are pretty easy to read, and don't contain to much excessive violence so I can read them to my 5 y old.
I got this book for my son to continue his education in the comic book characters he enjoys so much. They are perfect for exposing him to the different superheroes and teaching him some of the moral lessons contained within them.
My 4 year old son is very interested in super heroes and this book fits the bill! The stories are a pretty good length and will range from the advertised 5 min to closer to 10 depending on how inquisitive your child is. Mine can't go 2 seconds without asking a question so sometimes these stories take awhile. I've seen some folks complain about the "plot" etc. but my son is 4 and doesn't really need a Hitchcock film....he just wants the good guys to beat the bad guys, and they do. Personally I like that he gets "good" guys and "bad" guys shown to him, yes the world is shades of grey....but he's 4...lets start with "good" and "bad" and go from there. For me the most important thing is he wants these stories read to him, he listens (with frequent interruptions for questions), and he is interested in reading! My biggest complaint is I don't find the artwork to be as good as some of the other children's super hero books I have seen. The art isn't glossy and doesn't really "pop" off the page, kinda bland if you ask me. My son hasn't complained so apparently it doesn't bother him. Yes there is some "violence" in it but it's pretty minor and heavily stylized so I don't have too much of a problem with it. Yes there is fighting, and fighting is "bad", but I also use that as an opportunity to reinforce the difference between real and fantasy to him. Anyway, I feel that folks shouldn't over analyze a children's story, I was brought up with Hansel and Gretel where the witch was going to eat the damn kids!!!! This is pretty tame by comparison!I try to make my reviews engaging and useful. Please click helpful if you thought this review was worthwhile. Thanks!
These are good stories for superhero loving kids, but they run a bit longer than 5 minutes. My only complaint is that the Amazing Spider Man stories are the same as in the Spiderman compilation book, but since they gave them different titles in this book, I did not realize it. So several stories were not new to us.
I think the stories are a little too involved for my 4 yr old. He seems to like super heros, but the words are too advanced and too long on each page (if that makes sense). When I read it to him, he starts to play around and do other stuff, like he's not listening. Maybe he'll like it eventually. The illustrations are nice and there are alot of stories, so I will keep trying :)
Super-fun and perfect length for bedtime stories for my 6 & 8 year olds. Great graphics, concise, not that-singly long and as a mom who doesn't know much about super heroes, it actually introduced me to them so I can talk to my kids about their favorite characters (: well done.
