This is a good book for beginning independent readers who love Spider-Man. No action or adventure, this is just a basic introduction to the character and how Peter Parker came to be Spider-Man.

I liked this book because I learned Spider-Man’s fingers can stick to anything. I like how he practiced a lot to get better at shooting his webs. Finally, I think the book cover looks cool!

[Melissa Namba · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty basic and repetitive. A lot of emphasis on his physical changes and less focus on the actual crimes he deals with.

A great children's book that rates high with me. My four-year granddaughter loves Spider-Man and I was looking for an easy-to-read book for her that had bright, colorful illustration with easy-to-read text that she could follow and this one fit the bill. It tells the story of Peter Parker, how he was bullied and how he uses his special powers to help people. The text is simple, easy words and these words are showcased in boxes on each page, sometimes a few words to a page and other times many sentences. The illustrations are not of a cartoon nature but are humanistic, real pictures and show Peter Parker as himself and as Spider-Man. This book was a hit at grandma's house.

This is a fun book intended for younger readers in either first or second grade. The book follows the events of the first Spiderman movie. Well it generally uses simple sentences, it also includes some challenging vocabulary that will cause students to stop and think about what they are reading. This would be a good book for students to read who are interested in superheroes. The fact that it is based on a movie that many children have probably seen already will also help them feel more comfortable when reading words that They do not understand.

The Tobey movies will always have a special place in my heart. It was nice to check back in, even if this was sort of a dull kids book.

My 3-year-old absolutely LOVES Spiderman and it was only helped by this book, written in very simple language. He has memorized it! Too cute!

It's pretty good (but simple) if your kid likes Spiderman.

Level 2, with some tricky words. Kiddo loves Spiderman, so I knew this one would be a hit!
