When it comes to education, I have long been of the opinion that it should be by “any means possible,” including comic books. Consequently, I am a big fan of the comic books that present the classics of literature. With all the movies featuring comic book characters coming out, it is natural that books tied to those movies would be attractive to beginning readers. This book features Spider-Man and his most popular adversary, Doc Ock.
The book is composed of large images with a few brief sentences associated with the caption. The reading level is that of early elementary school children and contains a simple story that is tied to the movie featuring the same two characters. I highly recommend this book for the beginning reader that needs a bit of entertaining motivation in order to read.

My special needs teen age son and I did enjoy this storybook, I did find it very 'choppy'. You can tell it was based off the movie; but it had so much action that I think that made it interesting to my son so I guess the text really didn't matter that much. It is a good book but just a bit missing some of the story.
