Reviews

[L. McCoy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ll be perfectly honest, I’m not a huge fan of Superman. I’ve read quite a few books that feature him but I’m not a super-fan so I was happy and surprised that I enjoyed this Superman book... especially considering how simple it is.

What’s it about?
Pretty much it’s just a fun little picture book introduction to the character Superman.

Pros:
The story is pretty good and well written.
The art is nice.
The characters are well written.
There’s a good, fun fight scene at the end, I always enjoy a good superhero fight!

Cons:
I know this may sound like a dumb complaint about a picture book (hey, a good book is a good book no matter how old you are, that’s why I still read them sometimes) but it’s predictable.
The ending is so stupid and typical.

Overall:
Good book. I could definitely see this being a good introduction to the DC universe for kids. Definitely recommended if you’re trying to get your kids into superheroes or even if you’re like me and don’t have kids but still sometimes enjoy a fun little picture book.

4/5

This is a great book for your boys! My son absolutely loves this story. There is a character page before the story that gives a brief description of each character. It introduced Superman; describing what planet he came from and how he got to Earth. After sharing this with Lois Lane, Superman is needed back on Earth to fight of Lex Luthor.

genre: fantasy
theme: superpower, justice
My favorite part about this book is how the illustrations help you follow the story line.
I would use this book in my library but not as a part of any instruction.

[Ivory · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book about superheros and secrets. I enjoyed how the book explained words after using them. A good book for a classroom library.

My children absolutely adore this book. Reading literature is so important to the development of a child's mind, and I cannot think of thing I would rather do then sit down to read to them in the evenings. Imagination and growth are so vital in those so young.

[Jacob Yu · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like this book because Superman saves everyone from Lex Luthor. I also like this book because I learned about Superman’s powers and where he lives.

[☁︎ ☾ ｡⋆ morgan ⋆｡☽ ☁︎ · Rating 3 out of 5]

pretty stagnant, but that's typical for I Can Read books. it's a simple introduction to Superman with clean art, and Lois and Clark are dorks which i absolutely adore <3

[Asho · Rating 2 out of 5]

For some reason S pulled this out to read the other night, even though he is incredibly far beyond these books in terms of reading level at this point. I guess he just wanted a little nostalgia. He went through a phase of being obsessed with these superhero easy readers when he was 5 or 6 years old. Frankly I'm happy he's well past that phase now!
ETA December 2020: F is very interested in this book right, now for whatever reason. She told me Superman is "strong and rough". Okay then!

[Diz · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a nice introduction of Superman for children. It's a reader, so there's not much of interest for adults here.

I am Superman i love it

Superman whisks Lois Lane off the a snow fortress. There he is confronted by the evil Lex Luthor.

[Rochelle Sondae · Rating 2 out of 5]

My younger brother, who Loves Superman, would roll his eyes at this story. It's just a simple version of a story quite a few of us already know.

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

The boys love Superman's origin story.

[Megan · Rating 3 out of 5]

fun to read to the kids

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

What can i say! It is a good story easy to follow with great designs and colours. It was a good introduction to comic books and Superman to my little one. Highly recommended

This book was boring.
