I am a huge fan of board books for my little readers. My daughter started flipping through the sturdy books when she was a toddler, and now she is an avid reader at only four years old. My toddler son also loves looking through our board book collection. My daughter has also developed an interest in super heroes. She loves playing super hero and bad guy at the park with her friends. When recently offered the chance to review the DC Super Heroes Little Library in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to add a new set of books to my home library. The ten board books currently cost $30.67 on Amazon with a list price of $49.99.
Authors
Authors David Bar Katz, Morris Katz, and Julie Merberg have written many bestselling board books. All three currently live in New York City.
Synopsis
DC Super Heroes Little Library offers a beautiful keepsake collection of ten bestselling DC Super Hero concept board books:

Packaged in a gorgeous slipcase, the ten board books feature beloved DC super heroes including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, The Flash, and more. Each square 20-page book measures 5.75 inches by 5.75 inches. Beautifully illustrated with classic art, each book teaches a different important early concept–from letters and numbers to colors and shapes to opposites and parts of the body. The set is also an ideal introduction to the world of DC super heroes.
Evaluation
I must admit that I am not well-versed in super heroes, so DC Super Heroes Little Library is perfect for my little readers. My daughter constantly asks me the names of various super heroes, and I usually have no idea. She has been happily flipping through and reading all ten books in the set to figure out the names and powers of each super hero and villain. My daughter especially likes My First Book of Girl Power, My First Book of Super-Villains, and My First Book of Superpowers, which answer many of her questions about the world of super heroes and bad guys.
In addition to providing information about super heroes, super powers, and villains, I appreciate that the ten books in the DC Super Heroes Little Library offer varying lengths of text. For example, ABC 123 is a shorter word book that is perfect for my two-year-old toddler. Colors and Shapes is a little longer but is still perfect for prereaders and toddlers. My kindergartener daughter loves reading the longer Super Heroes Have Friends Too! And Even Super Heroes Sleep aloud to her baby brother. The set is recommended for readers ages 3 and up, but younger kids can also enjoy many of the titles.
I am finally quite impressed with the quality of the books in the DC Super Heroes Little Library. The thick cardboard box measures 5.625 inches wide by 6.1875 inches high by 5.825 inches deep. All ten board books fit neatly inside the gorgeous box. The 20-page books are thick and sturdy. My kids can be a little rough on their belongings at times. Despite many falls of the couch already, all ten books are still in tiptop shape. DC Super Heroes Little Library is therefore a must-have little library for super hero fans of all ages!
Final Verdict
My daughter recently developed an interest in super heroes, so I was super excited to receive DC Super Heroes Little Library from David Bar Katz, Morris Katz, and Julie Merberg to review. The ten-book set offers a beautiful keepsake collection of bestselling DC Super Hero concept board books that feature beloved DC super heroes including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, The Flash, and many more. The high quality board books cover topics from the alphabet and numbers to super powers and villains. Both my toddler and kindergartener love reading the ten books in the set, which offer varying lengths and complexity of text. If you too are a super hero fan, I highly recommend DC Super Heroes Little Library!
