With a sturdy padded cover, this Batman 5-Minute Stories collection makes anytime the perfect time to serve up some justice alongside the Caped Crusader! Boys and girls ages 3 to 7 will love this collection of tales featuring Batman and the other DC super heroes in action. Each story can be read in five minutes or less, so it's perfect for bedtime-or anytime!
The four stars are relative to these whole "5-Minute Stories" compendiums. On the whole, they are a bang-for-the-buck type of deal. The stories in this one range from Adam West campy to a bit too convoluted for a five minute children's story. My daughter loves learning all the characters since she knows that I like Batman and there aren't any 3-year-old appropriate Batman shows so this is it for her.
Probably because they're five minute stories, but Batman never gets into enough hot water for any of the endings to feel satisfying. It was however, a nice way to see a good mix of his rogues gallery.
