Reader reviews for THE BIG BOOK OF SUPERHEROES!

Via GoodReads!


Oops, no more![The Big Book of Superheroes by Bart King] is a fantastic book!!! It's all about "how to become a superhero". It helps you master your heroic poses, pick a superhero name, tells how to "dress superhero", and, of course, get your superpowers! But that's not all. There are so many things you must memorize to become a superhero! There are also wonderful comic strips! It is a very funny, entertaining book, and I'm sad that I finished it because it was so good.got this for my 9 yr old son and he absolutely loves it. Thinks he can be a superhero now. On the back of it it says "sidekick not included" and he said that's what his little brother is for lol./Luckily it came just in time for my son's 10th birthday :-) He started reading it as soon as he saw it and hasn't put it down yet./I finished reading this to my daughter, and we both ad a fun laugh. What a very fun, and laughable read to use to put your kids to bed. I loved it, and so did my daughter.Thank you for helping me get a book to use to put my daughter to sleep.

When ISN'T it a good time?

Dude is FAST.

Need help picking your superhero name?

That's where The Big Book of Superheroes can come in handy—it has a whole chapter devoted to picking the right name! For example, above is how the Crimson Goddess gets ready for school. :)

Pioneers have arrived in the front yard!

It was cute, but then I realized this was a land grab! My Facebook friends had some good comments on the situation:"You can tell from the mattress that they mean business. If they stay through the night I believe that front strip is legally theirs.""Look at those new-fangled Labradoodles used to pull the wagons. The sorts of advances in animal husbandry to stake a claim these days is shameless.""Be careful. I've played Oregon trail before. They know how to caulk a wagon and they just leave their dead and sick behind.""Whoa, these kids should be at the little school on the prairie! What are they thinking, heading west while there's homework to be done.""That's a prime piece of real estate they chose. Wooded, easy access to transportation routes."

But does it have a hoppy ending?*wince*(Thank you, Elizabeth!)

Get it? Get it?

This comic by Ricardo Ramirez (via Neatorama) has a hidden joke. If you're not sure what it is, hit "Read more"!

LOOK OUT!

Dang, a blossom just brushed my face as I was walking down the sidewalk. Why, I have half a mind to complain to the city about these hazards!   Correction : That should simply read "I have half a mind."
