Customer Reviews

Kids Love it.

I am a speech therapist and my little boys love these books just to name the pictures or listen to the story.

Love These Readers!

My 3 year old son loves Spider Man- but being only 3 he had a lot of history to catch up on. He's learning to read, but enjoys having this book read to him, over and over. He knows what his favorite Superhero has done and looks forward to reading this on his own. He carries this book around with him all the time. He did the same with the X-Men book. I recommend these readers to anyone with a chile who enjoys reading on their own or being read to.

An excellent little book

This wonderful little book (of about 48 pages) is designed for younger readers in the Level 4 - "Proficient" category. This is not a comic book or graphic novel, though it does contain a lot of wonderful pictures. Instead, this book tells the story of Peter Parker, the Spider-Man. With a wonderful economy of wording, it gives Parker's background, how he came to be Spider-Man, what his powers are, and who his friends and enemies are.My nine-year-old son loved the recent Spider-Man movie, so he wanted this book. This excellent little book tells the young reader everything he or she needs to know about Spider-Man. The illustrations are excellent and the sidebars (on everything from real spiders to Spider-powers and enemies) are wonderfully informative. This is a great little book, one that my son and I both highly recommend to you!
