The Incredible Hulk's Book of Strength

by James Buckley Jr.

The lives and deaths of the Romanov family are redolent with colour and drama, but the personal life of the beautiful Tsarina Alexandra has remained enigmatic. In this book the full dimensions of the Empress's singular psychology are revealed: her childhood bereavement, her long struggle to attain her romantic goal of marriage to Nicholas, anguishing pathological shyness, the struggles with her in-laws, a false pregnancy, her increasing eccentricities as she became more preoccupied with matters of faith, and her growing dependence on a series of occult mentors, the most notorious of whom was Rasputin. Taking advantage of material unavailable until the fall of the Soviet Union, Erickson brings Alexandra and her family back to life, portraying her story as a closely observed, well-documented, progressive and psychological retreat from reality.

A nice book to introduce children to the incredible Hulk and to show that not all monsters are bad.

Plus it is crammed with facts about the human body, animals, and machines to boot!

Thank you for the loan Oil City Library!

I'm a teacher librarian who HATES books with reading numbers on them. However, my 4 year old grandson Henry didn't notice at all. And he kind of liked it but it didn't grab his attention very long, too busy. If he found a picture he liked we read about it.
