A nice beginning reader that gives some basic information about the Flash such as how he got his powers and what those powers are.

This is a Step 2 reader recommended for preschool to grade 1. It uses short sentences, basic stories, and easy vocabulary. I think this adequately describes this book. Sometimes beginning reader recommendations seem off, but this one seems like a good match.

As with many Step 2 readers, this one doesn't really tell a story, just gives the reader a basic introduction. Still an interesting read. A few DC villains show up (shout out to Harley Quinn!). The pictures were fun and interesting, not so simplified that they were boring. Good way to engage young readers.

Overall, a good beginning reader for superhero fans.

Nice, basic introduction to the character. Short sentences, big, bright illustrations. Perfect for the intended audience.

A lab accident leads to the Flash, now he can solve crime in a new way. He captures four criminals, only Cheetah is named but the Penguin and Harley Quinn are recognizable.

It's just okay. It does not expand beyond how fast he can run, I wish it would have developed more of a story of how he ran fast and caught someone with his speed and not just an overview with random villains thrown in.
