Reviews

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another early easy DC reader with Wonder Woman prancing about again in full flight. Again the story is average but the idea behind them with pointing out difficult vocabulary and discussion questions at the end is a great way for early readers to think about a story more and what the story means.

I love that there are discussion questions and writing prompts at the end of this book. I would consider this as "fun" reading for a kid, so it's nice to see that "fun" can still be used as reading comprehension. So many parents and teachers forget that it's OK to read for fun!

Not a graphic novel, more like a “novelization” with a lot of pictures of an episode the Justice League cartoon show.
