Why we chose this book:
T likes superheroes, especially Spiderman and Captain America, so this cover caught his eye.

Mom and Son's Review:

A variety of Marvel heroes are introduced in this Level 2 Passport to Reading book.

T was happy to see some of his favorite heroes and we both learned a few new ones. I was disappointed to see a gross gender disparity though — only one female hero among seventeen males.

After reading:
Mom: Which superhero was your favorite?

Son: Thing

Mom: You liked him more than Spiderman and Captain America?...Why?

Son: I liked Thing more than Captain America because he has those rocks that are all glued together.

Mom: Should kids who like superheroes read this book?

Son: No. They should read Frozen [Big Snowman, Little Snowman].

Mom: Really? Why?

Son: Because they [Anna, Elsa, and Olaf] are good guys. They do good things. They are superheroes.
