Our almost three-year-old grandson is enamored withSpiderman, superheroes, and dinosaurs. He loves havingthis book read to him and is now picking out words aswe read to him. It is a good purchase for toddlers andpre-schoolers.
This is pretty good. It is written for very young readers who are reading themselves so there are very short sentences. I really like the pictures.
My nephew is 2 1/2 years old. This is the only book that my sister can get him to sit down for. He lets her read the whole thing and loves pointing out Peter Parker.
My 4-year-old son loves spiderman and books, so when I saw this book/comic at such a low price, I immediately jumped on it. Great decision!The book has a total of 30 "useful" pages, each of them with some scene from Peter's life and a couple of very simple sentences. For example, some of the text in the pages is:- Page 4-5: "Peter lives in Queens. Queens is in New York City."- Page 14-15: "Peter has a super secret.", "He has a costume."- Page 24: "Spider-Man can climb up walls."And so on.Now, I do find this book focus mostly on Peter's life, and not so much on Spiderman as a superhero. There are only 6 pages with Spiderman with the mask where he is actually doing superhero stuff, and all the others are just introducing Peter's life, his school and his tools. I actually like the idea of teaching my son about Spiderman's identity, but if you are looking for some action scenes, this is not your book.The only thing I did not like from this book is that it shows how Spiderman is bullied at school (Page 11). I do not like the idea of showing to my son how Peter is bullied and neither the teachers nor he do anything about it. What kind of message sends that everybody lets the bullying happen, and then just go with "Peter does not care" (Page 12) and "At home, no one makes fun of Peter" (Page 13)? We ended up cutting off Page 11/12 (so my book now jumps from 10 to 13), and rewriting 13 to say that Aunt May is happy with how good Peter is in studies.I still rate this 5 stars because it is a great value and my son loves it, but the writers should have put a little more thought into the bully part!
My son is 2 & 1/2, so I didn't buy this book to be a reading exercise, just a toddler level superhero story. The book arrived earlier today, just before nap time, and he was very excited to hear a new Spider-man story. Too bad Spider-man appears on less than half the pages. This is really a book about Peter Parker with some Spider-man thrown in. Still, my son liked it, so I can't complain too much. The illustrations are good and the short sentences would be good for a child learning to read. We'll have to wait and see if he wants to hear it again.
My child love this book , he gets the book and makes me read me like 4 times a day which I love that his interested in learning . His only 2 years old but has full understanding and repeats the words i read. IWill be purchasing more spider-man books.
Just right to get young boy interested in reading. Some words are challenging and others would be considered easy. It is easy to work with a young one to try to sound out the words and start to learn sight words. It is great to have books that engage boys and a very young age.
Deceiving, just a few page, broken incomplete story. I feel being cheated to spend that much money on it. My 3 year old like Spider-Man but he can certainly read many more pages of a storybook, he is totally confused and asked "where is the Spider-Man?" Far too short of a story.
