My First Superman Book: Touch and Feel (DC Super Heroes)

My husband has been really into all the super heroes ever since he was little, as I'm sure a lot of boys were and probably still are. I really knew nothing about them until I decided to purchase my two year old a couple. I gave them to her for Christmas and she really took to them. We both really enjoy reading them together and have both learned so many name of superheroes and what their powers are. But what I love most about these books, is that its not really all about the superhero, they teach lessons, and they teach things like colors, shapes, words, counting, and body parts. They really are wonderful books - I let my daughter choose one of these books every night and we read together at bed time. My toddler and I started collecting all of them and we both get really excited when they arrive in the mail. My daughter started to think that the mail man was just giving them to us as gifts, as if I didn't have to buy them lol. We have collected every one and they are releasing another one next week which we have already pre ordered and are super excited about. The books are a great price and arrive quickly. I hope they continue to make these books because we really love collecting them and enjoy reading them. She is even starting to remember the words and "reads" along with me!

Our family's most recent addition, two-month-old Steele, may be too little to read this wonderful book, but his Daddy is tickled to read it to him. A life-long fan of the most super super-hero, this new Dad was thrilled with the subject matter, of course, but also delighted with the quality of this "baby's-first" book. The pictures are true to the character, brightly colored, captivating, yet simple enough for the littlest fans. The color and the quality of the tactile "touch and feel" portions of the pictures are excellent. And there's a special page featuring super-dog, Krypto, with soft white fur for baby to pet. A very sweet little book any baby will enjoy ... especially if they have a big person who also loves Superman to help read along with them!

My son loves it when daddy Comes up after a tough night and reads him a superman book if you’re a superman fan this is the book you want but the one thing I don’t like is that there’s glitter in it for the fortress of solitude

When my three year old who's crazy about superheroes, wanted to get his little brother a book about Superman, I searched and found this. The pages are nice and thick, easy for little fingers to turn. The illustration is great with good embellishments for young readers like the rippling muscles or the fur on Krypto.I'm taking away one star for the following two issues: There is a sparkly page for the Fortress of Solitude which looks great but seems to lose a glitter to sticky little fingers and the pull tab to make Clark Kent run into the phone booth and emerge as Superman is too tough for little hands to pull. It's so tough that within a day the tab had been ripped off by my older son as he attempted to read to his little brother. It's just a bit too delicate for a kids book and I fear the other x-ray pull tab feature will reach the same fate eventually. In fact, I can't think of any other books for this age group that we own that have that kind of feature.Aside from those issues the book itself is great for little ones, I just wish the publisher had considered that it's not just moms and dads who would be handling it.*Edit* 4/1/13Shortly after posting the review I emailed the company to mention the issue with the torn page. They were very helpful and even offered to send me another book. I took them up on that and am anxiously awaiting the replacement, which we'll try to avoid damaging it quite so quickly.

My one year old loves this book, almost obsessively so. I frequently have to stash the book somewhere for a few hours, so that I'm not roped into reading it over and over again. He's particularly mesmerized by the pages that demonstrate Superman's x-ray vision and costume changes.Out of the three books on Amazon (Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman), I'd say this one is the most fun, with the most interactive features that are interesting to children.

This book is great - has multiple interactive pages (things to touch, shimmery things that catch the eye, etc). The only thing I'd say is a possible negative is that there are a couple of pull tab pages (you know, the ones where you pull a tab and it makes a character move or a scene change) that I imagine could get ruined quite easily.All in all, fantastic gift for the comic book lover's wee one.

I repackaged this item immediately after I opened it. Flipping through the pages, yes, it is a touch and feel book but that is all it is for. There is no story to read. I was hoping it was actually like a comic book for babies. This is not your typical board book, so no handing off to the really littles because there are flimsy cardboard pull out tabs that, first of all don't work well, but that could also easily rip and stop functioning all together. Plus, these tabs could quickly be ingested by a small one where everything still goes in the mouth. Worst of all, two pages were absolutely covered in glitter. And that's when I noticed it was all over the book, and the envelope it came in, and my counter top, and my hands. I'm not sure who this book was created for, but it does not seem baby/toddler/young kid friendly - maybe for those age 6 and older? But at that age, they don't need a touch and feel book, or a board-style book.

As a Superman fan I had to buy this book for my niece and now for my new baby cousin. My niece adores it! It's one of the few books that she really likes, probably because of the "touch and feel" aspect. The only problem is that the glitter on one of the pages sort of sheds a little, but not too bad. A really great purchase!
