First in a series of four pop-tastic volumes: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! Follow Spidey as he makes his transformation from shy bookworm Peter Parker to friendly neighborhood web-slinger. Plus encounter his seven deadliest foes, including Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, and Sandman. Kazam!
This is a fun book with pop up characters on each page as well as pull out slides. I think this would be a great book for more reluctant readers as the excitement of the pop up and graphic novel style may encourage them to read the story. I wouldn’t use this as a whole class read aloud but think it would be great to recommend to individual children.
There aren't just enough pop-up books in the world. Especially one done this well with this good art. Then again, Steve Ditko, eh? Someday I will have a kid to whom I shall give this like a family treasure.
Only one thing to say, comics fans: Three Dimensional Steve Ditko. Great for fans, great for kids. See my rather silly little review here: http://trebro.livejournal.com/272661....
