Reviews / Votes
Elementary students are drawn to superheroes. I know this will be a popular selection for the youngest readers. * NetGalley Review * This is the perfect book for young children (and stereotypically boys), especially if you want to introduce them to comics and superheroes! The artwork is beautiful - it literally looks just like a comic book! - and the text is simple to read and printed in a fun, comic-y font. * Read at Home Mama blog * Batman for kids: what's not to like? * Second Bookshelf on the Right blog * This colorful board book will make every little one want to be a fearless superhero! DC's new board book series will be a surefire hit for preschoolers! * NetGalley Review * The illustrations were fun and I could see this being a book that kids read over and over again. * NetGalley Review * I think this will be a hit with the K-2 students at my buildings. They are bright, colorful, and have an easy to read format. I'll be purchasing!! * NetGalley Review * I really liked this book for a younger audience because the message is definitely a good one, especially for right before bed. It would make an excellent addition to any little boys library. * Ms. Bibliophile * These are a pair of new board books for the youngest readers (or the youngest get-read-to-ers) by writer Donald Lemke and artist Ethen Beavers, featuring thick cardboard-y pages and rounded edges, making it almost impossible to get hurt reading them (or having them read to you, or pretending your reading them, or throwing them around, or dropping them or sucking on the edges). . . .Beavers draws in the slightly simplified, Bruce Timm-derived style of DC's animated series, like those starring these two heroes and the later Justice League series (a fact that speaks pretty strongly of how strong and how influential those particular designs have been, particularly given how many different versions of the characters, particularly Batman, since). * SLJ's Good Comics for Kids blog * This is a cute book about Batman and how he is brave. It is only 18 pages with some great illustrations and is a great book for your child who may be just beginning to read. * Concert Katie blog * Batman Is Brave! packs it's 16 pages with bright and bold illustrations and an easy to read text which sends a nice message: "Batman is brave and so are you." Check it out for your future superhero! * Read It Again Mom blog * ...a simple reader with lots of visual appeal. * NetGalley Review * A very toddler friendly introduction to Batman, focusing on being brave & the gadgets he uses... * NetGalley Review * ...a great bedtime story for my kiddos who are afraid of the dark. It helped calm their night time fears. I highly recommend this board book for all young readers! * Amethyst Daydreams blog * When I review childrens books I do so with my 4 year old grand daughter Liliana. She loved this book and ran around half the day telling everyone she was brave like Batman. * NetGalley Review * ...a fun little read and I know we will be reading it again. * NetGalley Review * I read this title to my 3 1/2 year old last night and she loved it! It was fun and colorful and of course it was awesome because it had Batman! Great book for a young reader. * NetGalley Review * ...a cute board book for any superhero lover with toddlers. As a teacher, I could see a preschool or kindergarten teacher using it introduce describing words and also onomatopoeias (words that are sounds). You could also use as a springboard of how students can be brave. * NetGalley Review * ...a fun and easy to read book to share with beginning readers. * NetGalley Review *More details
