Wonder Woman An Origin Story (DC Super Heroes)

My four year old daughter loves this book. She's really into super heroes at the minute and we were really struggling to find anything with female heroes for her. It's not that clear from the description but this is a picture book rather than a comic/graphic novel. It's written in a very clear language and looks like it'll be a good one for when she's 5-7 and starts learning to read. The main story is around 40 pages long but it's in a large font so the whole thing is easily readable in one bedtime sitting. As well as the main story it also has a glossary with some of the more complicated words and also two pages of questions to start discussions about themes covered in the story.

My daughter loves this book Its more a adult to read and not a young child and some words hard to read.

This was a gift. The little girl who received it was very happy with her book. The book arrived promptly. Very cool book

My daughter loved it. We got it because she wants to go to school as wonder woman for book character day!

This was loved by a 5 year old girl into wonder woman.

6 year old love reading this book

cheers

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I'm a VERY long-time Wondie fan! My copy of "Wonder Woman: An Origin Story," by John Sazakalis (it's spelled "Sazaklis" on the cover) and Luciano Vecchio, just arrived so I read it immediately. It's beautifully illustrated and presents a thorough version of who Wondie is and how she came to be. There are discussion questions in the back of the book, and a glossary for some terms. However, they use "Themyscira" instead of "Paradise Island," certainly not a great choice for kiddie readers. Also, the Amazons are termed "warriors," and the Contest (as unfortunately usual) is presented as an all-sports event, no brain work involved. (Not anything like I've ever thought it should be.) When Diana battles Ares, she says, "Your power comes from hate, but my power comes from love. And that is much stronger!" Then she defeats him with a kick. Love = fighting prowess. If one loves, one punches. Hm. (There's a nice sequence of her getting two armies to stop fighting by talking with each other.) Diana's powers come not from Amazon Training, but from the gods: Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes… and Zeus, not Hercules. The only thing we see Diana training in, is etiquette to be a princess. Not that crown princesses have to be trained in how to lead, how to run a country, how to listen to their people and solve problems, how to balance a country's budget, etc. Ah, Disney (and so many others), how you have affected the way we think of princesses! They just sit around, smile and drink tea with outstretched pinkies. I laughed when Diana asked, "Why send one of my sisters [to the outside world] when I am the best?" Also gave a LOL when the story turned very vague as to what kind of job Diana got when she took on her Di Prince ID. I understand. The mythos changes every few months, it seems. It's difficult to keep up with it. Still, it's a story kids can follow easily. They meet Cheetah, Giganta, and Circe (nice definition of her magic!) in addition to everyone else. Philippus, Menalippe, and Artemis are present, though none are named. Biggest plus: Steve Trevor is nowhere to be found!

My Niece loved this book! I was so happy to introduce her to not only the world of superheros but also female superheros. My niece is 3.5 and she enjoys it but i think older kids would love it too.

Belle qualité pour pas cher.

Muy corto, por el precio

Great little book for my four-year old boy. We read this book and the Batman book again and again for a few weeks. I like that it exposes him to women superheroes. The story is imple enough with a mix of upper-level vocabulary. The graphics are bright and colorful, which are reminiscent to the cartoons I watched as a kid. There's nothing graphic or overly violent in the imagery. My one complaint... The book doesn't provide a phonetic pronouniation of Wonder Woman's home.
