Great book to start your little one off. I read it to my 3 year old step-son and he absolutely loved it and so did I! So much better than reading fairy tales and I'm just so sick of Cars. It introduces you to some of the major villains, Dr. Oct, Sand Man etc. yet is tame enough for the young ones. I did skip over Peter's uncle Bed dying, seem a bit much for the 3 year old.

This book would be great if half the stories didn't have missing words and other easily recognized typos. I read the book to my 5 year old son out loud and he had no trouble spotting the miss language and telling me what it should have been. He still loved the book, I just wish it didn't come with a lesson in editing. I'd wait for a reprint and hope they clean up this issue.

There were a lot of spelling/grammatical errors. I read it to my six year old and he enjoyed the stories. You can’t go wrong with super hero’s and villains in his eyes. I would recommend it for Kindergarten age children. Perfect for AR reading minutes.

This book is really entertaining when I was a kid, and it is still entertaining to this day. It shows a collection of stories about spider-man fighting his well-known villains.

This is a LOT of Spider-Man, and Sam is addicted to Spider-Man. He could sit through these stories for hours on end. And honestly, they're not all that bad. From what I know of the comics (which admittedly is very little) these stories seem to be very true to the original stories. As soon as I finished it Sam wanted me to start reading it again. Julie's been reading this to Sam, too. She's working her way through it for the second time, also.

This is the 87th book I have read. It was six stars, but since there aren't six stars on here I couldn't rate it that. There's a newspaper writer called JJJ that hates Spider-Man and thinks he's a villain. This is the most currently read book. I read it just today. I started and finished it today. I'd recommend this book to anybody, but not people who commit crimes. They learn crimes from this book, so if anybody's a villain, I wouldn't recommend it to them.

I've only read two of the stories in here so far (out loud to my 3 year old), but the grammatical errors and typos are making me absolutely furious. The book is actually a good level for what I need - good story length and good subject for early childhood without being comics - but I find it really difficult to read out loud because of all the mistakes! The sentences just don't have the prosody they should.

We had a spiderman birthday for my nephew and this seems like the perfect way to celebrate. He reads stories every night before bed, and this was a great collection to celebrate his favorite superhero.

Me and my son enjoyed this book. I am homeschooling my son and this summer theme is superhero.
