"What book did we just finish?"
Umm, Spider-man.
"What did you think about it?"
That all the bad guys got dead* and that all the super heroes didn't get hurt.
"What was your favorite story in there?"
*Flips pages*
That one!
"The one about where they beat Thanos?"
Yeah, because Fanos is really bad, but the super heroes didn't get hurt. That's my favorite part.
"Did you have a favorite super hero in your Spider-man book?"
Do you know who? You already know who he is! He's on the front!
"Who's on the front?"
Take a guess!
"Spider-man?"
Yeah! That's my favorite super hero!
"Did you learn anything from this book."
That its good to take care of other people, eventhough if you're fighting with the bad guys.
"Would you read this book again?"
Yes, I love it.
*No bad guys got dead in the reading of this book.

Předem musím říct, že je to kniha pro děti, takže od toho moc nečekejte a přistupuje tak i k mé recenzi. Marvel pro děti, nic víc, než co víme z filmu nezjistíte.Knize nemám co vytknout, takže za mě 5 hvězd, ale určitě nejlepší kniha to není.

I am not a Marvel aficiando. I’ve seen the blockbusters, but can’t say I’m acquainted with the source material to be a snob of any sort. I’d like to, just never got around to it. This was a read-aloud with the 4 (almost 5) and 2 year old...they were RIVETED. First exposure to Spiderman after watching the astounding Into the Spiderverse.
I like how it included the array of superheroes, from Dr Strange to IronMan to alternate uni-spideys. Cloak and Dagger stood out the most to my kiddos though. They seem to request that particular story the most. I think it’s the appeal of the cloak-portal...or maybe it’s the villain’s modus operandi reminding them of Void from Incredibles?
I pooh-poohed these 5 minute series for a long time whenever I came across them in the bookstore, but...gotta say...I’m hooked now and will invest in the other collections for future read-alouds!

My boy is on a huge Spider-Man kick so when I found this book for free I had to have it.
He loved the different stories and all the different characters. Everything was appropriate for kids and all the stories were fun and short. It was a nice basic tour through the Marvel world.
The high rating is probably more about my special time with my son as opposed to any great stories. Little dude won’t want me reading to him soon enough.

This book was a gift to my son. He loves superheros and Spiderman is one of his favorites. The stories varied widely as to who the villain is and the helping hero. They're long enough to be interesting but short enough that he doesn't get bored with it.

(4☆ Would recommend)
Great bedtime book for super hero loving kids. The 5-minute stories are a great length for bedtime. The only negative is that we also have a 5-Minute Marvel Stories book and 2 of the exact same stories are in both books.

Sigh... new obsession. Some are dumb, some are good. Child doesn’t care.

Currently, one of Reuben's (my son) favorite books. This is his introduction to the Stan Lee creation Spider-Man. The stories are definitely for kids but there is a lot of fun to be had here.

Nii vähe on neid raamatuid, kus on reaalselt loetavad lood sees. Enamik on ikka koomikseid. Poistele meeldis ja illustratsioonid olid köitvad.

Jako pro fanoušky a jejich děti asi fajn. Na mně zkratkovitý, pro Agi ještě asi strašidelný. Určitě ještě zůstaneme u Spajdíka junior🤷🏻♀️

My son (5) absolutely loves this book! Stories are perfect for younger kids. Not too scary but still action packed!

October 3, 2024My 3 year old is obsessed with super heroes and he said this is his favorite book. It focuses on Spider-Man but many other Marvel Heroes are in the stories as well. I am sure we will be reading this book over and over for the foreseeable future!
