PreS-Gr 1–Beginning readers who love playing with action figures will enjoy diving into this bright and colorful book featuring the most commonly known superheroes. Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Batman are all here to save the day! After each superhero is named, character traits to describe them—such as brave, smart, strong, and helpful—follow. Every spread consists of a simple, short sentence with large, focused font. Young readers can easily track the text as an adult reads to them. Every other page is wordless, with lively pictures. As a Step into Reading book, this title is meant for students who have learned letter names and sounds, but have not yet learned to read whole words. It is meant for exploration or as a shared read with an adult.
VERDICT This early reader is perfect for young children exploring superheroes.
