Batman: 4 Adventure Stories

This is a great book for younger kids who love superheros--the stories are very entertaining but do not have the over the top gore of some of the more recent superhero stuff. My son and I both love to read it.

This book is a great value. I read this to my 5-year old and 4-year old at bedtime, dividing the stories into episodes. It takes 5-6 nights to read the entire book (15 minutes per night) if you leave time for questions. And my two little detectives have lots and lots of questions. None of the stories are too dark for young Batman fans. There's a good mix of illustrations but not so many that the book turns into a comic book. As for the added value, older Batman fans will pick this book up again and use it as an early reader. This book will spend many years on our sons' bookshelf.

My four year old son loves this book. Its a chapter book, so a little old for him, but its his first Batman book and he loves it. My 6 year old daughter enjoys it, too, because Catwoman is in it. So I can read it to both of them!

This book is a perfect combination of classic Batman illustrations with easy to read text. My 5-yr old son begs me to read it to him and can read a little from the text himself. We like that it has 4 different, fun stories, each about one of The Dark Knight's traditional villains. My son likes the Catwoman story best - especially the passage where Batman announces over the police radio: "this is Batman! A police car has been stolen!" It is a quality product, well-bound hard cover.
