Super hero book for beginner reader. My 5 yr old read it just fine, in fact it was pretty easy. And I have three boys, so I am tired of superhero books, but I figure I still have many superhero books to go. At least my kid is reading. :)

Added note: Read this one again recently, now that my son is reading a lot on his own. This says a level 2 reading book, but it isn't anywhere close to the level of any of the other level 2 books we've read, much too easy. It's at least a level 1 reading book if not lower.

Going into step 2 reading superhero books. Ummmm “Metropolis” is kind of a big word for kindergarten but it makes it challenging. You will run into a couple world that your little one will have to put those sound out the word skills to use.

Loved it

It had heat vision, Cyborg, Superman, Batman and all the D.C. heros. My 2nd grader loved the length of the book and the ease with which he read the book.

In this book, at the beginning the superheroes and someone talking and then Superman pulls the switch that turns on the brain. And Mr. Freeze wants to give the person who was talking brain freeze. Mr. Freeze is a bad guy and he fires his ice cannon. And the brain is frozen solid. The powers go off. The city's water stops running, and the trains speed out of control. Superman and the Flash zoom into action. Superman stops the train. The Flash helps the riders. Cyborg tells the cars when to stop. Green Lantern tells the cars when to go. Batman swings down on Mr. Freeze. Mr. Freeze uses his ice cannon. Batman's feet get frozen. Superman breaks the ice. Teamwork saves the city. The Superfriends celebrate with ice cream. -by Alexander

I recently bought this book for my 6 year old son in a collection of books.
He loves it.

A new computer is being set up in Metropolis that will control everything. It is called The Brain and it will run the trains, traffic lights, water supply, and the power. Superman is there to turn the Brain on. Mr. Freeze decides the town needs a Brain Freeze and fire his ice cannon which freezes the new computer solid. Everything in the city stops working. Superman, Flash, Cyborg, and Green Lantern work together to help get the city back in control. They then work together to capture Mr. Freeze and unfreeze the Brain. My son needed very little help with reading. Have nice illustration that go along with the storyline.

My nephew liked this story. He owns a Mr. Freeze action figure, so I think reading this really made his little wheels turn as he though up new scenarios in which his Mr. Freeze may find himself captured by his superhero action figures. My nephew didn't offer me any particular opinons about this book, but he did ask me to read it again, so I know he really did enjoy it.

For a four-year-old boy this book is great. Superman, Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, Cyborg, and The Flash all in one book. Sure the plot was lame but it is less obnoxious because of the happy child pointing out what he finds exciting on each page. Bonus: fast to read.

The Justice League freezes all of Mr. Freeze's criminal activity.
