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!
Seriously, I work pretty hard to find heroes for my little girl and it's hard enough without this book having Wonder Woman pushing a stroller. I'm going to print off a picture of a train from the internet and also print off the word and fix this, but seriously, WTF? Batman doesn't push a stroller, Superman doesn't push a stroller, they couldn't find ANYTHING that would show Wonder Woman to be a hero?On the other hand the Wonder Woman title by the same folks rocks.
Thanks to this book by 2 years old can without a doubt tell you that "Sinestro is a Bad Guy" and "Green Lantern is a Good Guy!"MUST READ.I could not put it down, read it several time in ONE SITTING!!!!!!!!!!!
The idea of this book is fun. The pictures pop with bright colors. But the overall book is really simplistic -- even for my toddler. It doesn't interest her at all, especially compared to a much better superhero board book "My First Wonder Woman Book: Touch and Feel." Also, the binding or maybe the board quality is just kinda off.
This book is super colorful and a fun way to teach kids. It is very sturdy and looks like it will hold up well over time. This is definitely a read to the child kind of book as it has some advance vocabulary, which make it more fun for the grown up. I like how this book doesn't dumb down the language and the content to much, making it even more of a learning experience. Did I mention kids love it, so colorful, great drawing, and very sturdy!
Great book. I grew up with these characters and it is fun reliving the fun through my son in his learning of opposites.The concepts are great for a toddler - up/down... thin/wide etc.The best is finding stuffed animals or other toys that can match up with the ideas on the pages.Great book for my 18 month old... and me.
Not pleased with this book due to male/female stereotypes. The male superheros are portrayed as being able to do amazing things push and lift things in a single bound - whereas Wonder Woman is amazing for pushing a little girl on a swing. Wonder Woman is so much more as are most female role models. :)
My girls really love this book. I'm contemplating taping the idiotic pages together. WW is a super hero but she is portrayed pushing a swing next to superman pulling a giant machine. The book is about opposites. What else does the image convey other than push/pull. Maybe the author/editor is a knuckle dragger and couldn't come up with something better than a female pushing a child on swing? Or it is a "disguised" jab at the chatacter/women. Either way, it's something that needs to be revised. We have some of the other books in the series:my first superman book and the wonder woman book. My kids love those and no blatant sexism.For those saying, what's the big deal, obviously don't understand how discrimination is subtly and not so subtly injected into our society even from a young age.
