Book Review: Marvel Super Hero Fact Book

Perfect for younger and middle aged children as well as people who are curious about some of the most popular Super Heroes in the Marvel Universe, the Marvel Super Hero Fact Book definitely does not disappoint.

The Marvel Super Hero Fact Book is a strong, board book that is wonderful for kids who are harder on their reading materials than others. They will be able to bang this around and the book will be none the worse for wear. Of course, when they see all the offerings on the inside of the book you might notice them sitting and reading or looking at the full fold-out pages rather than banging it around like they might other books.

Choosing the top five Super Heroes was no easy task. However, there is a good balance represented in this book. There are superheros for both girls and boys. All the role models and the most entertaining characters are represented.

In the Super Hero Fact Book you will be able to learn more about Wolverine (Logan), Spider Man (Peter Parker), The Hulk (Dr. Robert Bruce Banner), Storm (Ororo Munroe), and the Fantastic Four (Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Sue Richards, and Johnny Storm).

Each section of the board book is dedicated to one of the aforementioned Heroes. You are able to fold out a large, dynamic poster of the hero you are learning about, which will is excellent for kids who want to see the heroes while learning more about their special skills.

When the pages are folded up you will be able to view the fact file for the hero you are reading about. The fact file comes in two forms. The opening page is the basic fact file where you learn the importance of the hero you are studying. The opening page offers enough information to interest kids about these heroes without boring them. In most cases, if they are interested in super heroes, this book will lead them to wanting to learn more through other Marvel products, games, books, and shows.

Meanwhile, on the second page you are offered the fact file containing enemy information. You are able to see slightly larger than thumbnail sized pictures of some evil villains as you learn why they are enemies to the hero you are reading about. The fact files offer a high-tech computer feel, showing a scroll-bar beside the paragraphs like you would see on a computer. Once the files have been read you are able to flip to the dynamic comic-style graphics of the hero of your choice while they are in action.

This book is ideally recommended for children between the ages of 6-11. Based on maturity, children who are a little bit younger or a little bit older may like the book. Our son, who is 12 enjoyed the book though the reading material was a bit below his reading level. However, he does like Super Heroes so he did not mind that very much.

Both of us are Super Hero fans. We enjoyed it. We thought it was cool for kids and both of us learned more about our favorite Super Heroes. While younger children might find the reading a bit too advanced, older individuals will not mind if the reading is a bit too simplistic for them.

All in all, the Super Hero Fact Book will make an excellent addition to any child’s library. If you notice your child has an interest in comic books, fantasy, or super heroes, you will definitely want to allow them to indulge in their interest with this fine starter book. With this book, your child will begin to learn about the characters as they feed their true fascination with Super Heroes.
