(3☆ Got something out of, but wouldn’t read again)
Besides Spider-Man, these stories are about superheros that many kids haven't heard of, especially if they are too young to keep up with the MCU. A few of these stories had very difficult words for early readers. My 6-year-old, who does great with step 1 readers, really struggled.
