Customer Rating:

Summary: Good for younger readers
Comment: I like this series of books because the subject matter and pictures are G - rated enough that I can read these to my 2 and 4 year old without getting into the adult, scary and complicated story line of the movie.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great book
Comment: Tells the story of how Spiderman came to be. Although simplified, it deals with the issues of not fitting in, being ridiculed and bullied. My four year old loves this book and it is short enough that it holds his attention without being too basic.

Summary: Easy book to get beginning readers interested
Comment: Maybe you've heard of me.
Maybe you've seen me.
I am Spider-Man.

Above is the first page of this beginning reader. The writing is representative of the next 27 pages--contractions and some multi-syllable words add a bit of challenge to one who is just learning how to read, but the best thing about it is that it's fun!

The emphasis is NOT on simple writing. The emphasis is on the story, which is a simplified version of the first Spider-Man movie: the Green Goblin only shows up in one picture and is not named--the book emphasizes how Peter Parker became Spider-Man and what he can do now that he's been bitten by a "man-made spider".

My young son summed it up best when he said, "This is a SUPER book, Mommy. And I can read it myself!"

Editorial Reviews:

I used to be Peter Parker ... Now, I am Spider-Man!

Everything changed for Peter Parker after a genetically altered spider bit him. He used to be a scrawny high-school student who struggled to defend himself against the bigger, stronger guys in his school.

He doesn't have to struggle anymore.

With his new spider-like abilities, Peter can spin webs, climb buildings, and sense danger before it happens. Peter can do everything a spider can do, and more. Find out what it's like to be a superhero along with Peter as he adjusts to his new life as Spider-Man.
