This book collects Issues 4-6 of Spider-man Family with a variety of Team Ups.
The book opens with a story featuring the villain known as the Puppet Master doing a good turn for a kid who gets a very special Spider-man puppet in a nice fantasy.
Then Spidey teams up with Agents of ATLAS when strange events occur at a Broadway play. Agents of ATLAS is a group of characters who had appeared 1950s comics by Marvel predecessor ATLAS. It was fun, but a little confusing.
Issue 5 leads off with a team up with Dr. Strange, that's kind of fun. The contrast between the two characters makes the story servicable. You also get an explanation of how magic works in the Marvel universe and why mystic beings like Strange don't use their powers to heal people. This does at least help readers understand why Dr. Stange couldn't help the wounded Aunt May during One More Day. In the back up story is Spider-man meeting Kraven the Hunter on an illegal urban safari and telling off a duo of wealthy and immoral teenagers who paid Kraven. It was an okay story, but it just didn't fit Spider-man.
Issue 6 has Thor transformed into a frog and about to be dissected by a High School attending Peter Parker. The story's fun with some decent sight gags. Wrapping up, Spider-man has to babysit and get to know Ka-zar's cat Zabu in a story that's touching as the young Spider-man begins to understand the cat's loneliness and tries to help.
This volume is definitely target towards kids and nothing therein violates its all ages rating. In the end, this is a decent albeit not essential read for Spider-man fans.

This was fine. Parts of it were more fun than others. It just felt too disposable without getting into a level of crazy fun.
