My 3yo loves Wonder Woman, so we bought Flower Power on Kindle and physical Golden Book the day it was published. I wish I'd waited. The story is simple enough, like most modern Golden Books are, in which Wonder Woman and Batgirl chase Poison Ivy through a botanical garden, get attacked by some plants, and catch her in the end.The problem is that, despite that the cover art would lead you to believe the story heavily involves Wonder Woman, she may as well be Batgirl's sidekick. Though both are chasing Poison Ivy, it feels like the story oscillates between forcibly including Wonder Woman (her magical bracelets deflecting cacti thorns that weren't going to hurt Batgirl anyway, for example) and forgetting her altogether.So if you have a little Batgirl fan, this book is for you. If you have a Wonder Woman fan like me, she'll enjoy seeing her favorite super heroine in action, but won't get much from the story.Parental sidenote: I get that in the old comics Wonder Woman always managed to end up with her hands and feet tied in comic-bondage. Use of that imagery in this book (see Customer Photos) when Wonder Woman is bound, legs pulled apart and chest thrust out, is an homage. However, it's 2014; can we not empower Diana just a little more? Maybe skip the bondage scene, at least in books aimed at little girls? Thanks, Golden Books.
First, I want to clarify that I love more representation of women in superhero books. My daughter is a fan of Wonder Woman and it is very difficult to find books that have her as a main character, so I like that this book places not only her, but also Batgirl and Poison Ivy in the main roles.Having said that my daughter found the ending a bit disturbing and started wondering what was going to happen to Poison Ivy. Spoiler alert: Poison Ivy ends up in a really bad position, and I found it a bit troubling that Wonder Woman and Batgirl just laugh it off and leave her in her agony. Wonder Woman in particular cares about everyone and I can't imagine her leaving anyone suffering, even the bad guys/girls. She would have done everything in her power to try to rescue Poison Ivy from becoming a tree. Being a superhero is more than just stopping bad guys/girls, but it is about showing more compassion for fellow human beings. It is about sacrificing your self-interest to make sure others are safe.
My 4 year old daughter is really into girl super heros, books about whom are frustratingly hard to find! We got this book 3 days ago, and I think I have read it to her about 20 times already. She keeps asking me, "Do you like this book, can we read it again?". My only complaint is that books (and other products) about girl super heros for young kids are so hard to find. More, please!!
My little ones are really into superheroes and it drives me insane that they're aren't many with girls and women. I love when they offer more of a variety showing how women and girls are also strong. It's very empowering for young girls to see and read.This book was cute, had a cute story with silly little jokes in it. My only issue is that they still make the characters have that typical disney/hollywood look. Barely any clothes, lots of make up and perfect curvy bodies.I'd like to find books that encourage women's strength more than looks and this book didn't really do that much.
Ever since we received this book, my daughter has me read it to her every night!i love the punch lines in it, like the classic super heroes always used and it's all girl and my daughter thinks it's awesome!
I've been a huge Wonder Woman since I was 4 years old (which actually means, a LONG time) and I've passed down my W.W. fascination to my 3 year old daughter. She was VERY happy when she received this book on her birthday and we've read it about 15 times in two weeks. This story is about Wonder Woman and Batgirl fighting against Poison Ivy in a Gotham City Botanical Garden. These characters are a great example for young girls that women can be just as feminine as Disney Princesses but also strong and powerful at the same time. Although this is a story that really encourages girl power (there aren't any male characters in the story), my 6 year old son really enjoys this book as well. This is a fun story that's full of silly puns that my daughter thinks are hilarious and the illustrations are adorable. I highly, highly recommend this book to both girls and boys.
My daughter's been curious about superheroes lately, so I was so excited to hear about this book. It did not disappoint! I loved the stylized illustrations, the cute, simple plot, and most of all-- Wonder Woman and Batgirl! It's almost impossible to find them in anything, let alone something a four-year-old would like. She adores this story, and I'm so glad I bought it!Hey DC, a couple more like this would be awesome!
I was looking for a way to introduce my two year old to my misspent youth and this was a good means. The artwork is nice and the story is very easy for him to understand. The puns are a little over his head, but he still likes it. It's very much "Super Friends Light"
