Like all the other Tiny Titans books, it's cute, silly, and probably most likely to be enjoyed by elementary age kids who've watched the Teen Titans cartoon.

Tiny Titans: Growing Up Tiny! picks up where the previous trade paperback left off, collecting the next six issues (39–44) of the on-going 2008 series.
Like the previous trade paperbacks, Tiny Titans: Growing Up Tiny! is composed of several individual mini-stories ranging from two to six pages in length with no overall cohesive storyline, yet each chapter has one overall theme. The cast of characters is rather large and it once again is expanded a lot. Like the previous trade paperback, a child could do an activity for fun and a pin-up poster that they could hang somewhere at the end of each chapter.
The faculty of Sidekick City Elementary was expanded to have Dr. Light as the science teacher and the Doom Patrol is the crossing guards, which were essentially one chapter as each member, lead the Sidekick City Elementary students back and forth. Lobo returns as the coach as he witnessed a race between the Flashes.
Tiny Titans: Growing Up Tiny! has a myriad of stories. It opens up with Alfred doing the laundry to watch seems like the superhero community. What ends up happening is that he mixes the Super Family's capes and everything turns pink. There is a Kroc-centric story, a race between Kid Flash, Inertia, Jessie Quick, Peek-a-Boo, and Mas y Menos with Raven winning the race again. There was a romance between Match and Bizarro Girl when she visits Earth and an issue about the Tiny Titans trying to dress up as their mentors.
There is a very brief reappearance of the League of "Just Us" Cow Club and the underwater Pet Club when Kroc briefly interrupted them and that is about it. Surprisingly, there seems to be a lack of club focus in this trade paperback, but it wasn't missed too much.
Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani penned the entire trade paperback and for the most part, it was written rather well. It is quite funny, giving many Easter Eggs and allusion to comic events that have happened in the main continuity, which is rather clever for the older people who may be reading this series.
Art Baltazar does double duty as he penciled the entire trade paperback as well and because he was the only penciler, the artistic flow of the trade paperback flowed exceptionally well. The penciling was done exceptionally well. It has a cartoonish quality, which is rather apropos to this series.
All in all, Tiny Titans: Growing Up Tiny! is a rather wonderful continuation for the series and I can't wait to read the next trade paperback.

Sweet, funny, perfect for kids who enjoy other humorous strip comics but with a solid enough basis in the standard DC titles for adult fans to enjoy as well. The art style is unlike the style on any other book I've read and it's executed consistently well- managing to draw four Robins in such a simple style while still making them identifiable can't be easy.
I'd say if you're at all drawn to this title then you'll probably love it - it does exactly what the cover advertises and it does it well. If you prefer to stick to the main continuity, or the childish style puts you off, then listen to your gut. It's probably not one for you. I thought it was a great palate cleanser between heavier adult-oriented superhero books.
Great stuff. This is volume seven but it doesn't seem like the comics have to be read in any order. I picked this volume up on a whim in Oxfam but I'll definitely be ordering the others in the future.

My 7 year old picked this out at our local comic book store today. Being new to comics, I knew nothing about the Tiny Titans. After she was reading this book, laughing out loud hysterically and trying to tell me the story (from the back of the car on the drive home) I did a little research and am stoked to see that we have a lot of catching up to do. Simple, light, humorous, and refreshingly - not crude. It's nice to see a comic appeal to kids without the typical cheap crude humor that kids these days tend to expect. I read it myself and enjoyed a little bit of the reference humor to JLA and the gang.

While I do think the creators are talented on this series, I know every time I read a T.T. book it's intended for children and it's not really meant for me as the target audience. My children absolutely adore and love the book and that's all that matters. I appreciate what the creators bring to the table, but more often than not it's my kids that laugh out loud at the jokes not me. This book continues to remain full of W-I-N for both young boys and girls.

This volume of Tiny Titans consists of a couple of themed issues. Loved that Cassandra Kane and Barbara Gordon were in the same story. I loved the pink issue and bizzaro love story. This comic always makes me happy and I still very sorry that it has ended. There should be one more graphic novel out though!

I remember the first time I encountered the Tiny Titans series (which was a year ago), and this was the first issue that I saw! Funny that I was in my Young Justice phase when I read this, so obviously the resemblance was quite striking.
Even after a year, this volume still holds a special place in my heart. Aw yeah Titans!

This volume covers pink clothes, flashpoint, the reboot and some love stories. It hits all the right notes again to make me laugh out loud. Yes, this is good for kids. But if you know a bit about the main series continuity it is hilarious. I just love the idea of Zod getting pizza delivered to the phantom zone. And the reboot issue is really, really funny. A great read.

This latest addition to this series is just as good as the others! I know that kids who are fans of this series, are really going to enjoy this volume. Another Tiny Titans hit!

3 1/2 stars. Adorable art, appropriate for young audiences. I was on a Young Justice kick after watching the stellar short lived television show, so I'm going through comic books now. :)

Crushes, a tiny Justice League, and more bizarros are just some of the fun appearances in this book. Tiny Tutans continues to be more adorable and a hoot to read!

Less interesting as previous volumes and not funny.

Bit better than the previous one, but still it is getting boring. :( So I am thinking of cutting the week short. I still have one more to go, but I really don't want to read it any more.

Amusing. Great for kids but with a few in-jokes for adults and DC fans too.

A great time-passer!

I found out that this series is going to end soon and I am very sad about this fact. Mr. Baltazar has provided days of wonderful relaxation with is artwork and short stories within these comic books. Think that I will have to purchase this series for me and my future children to enjoy.
