Superman Classic: I Am Superman (I Can Read Level 2)

I Am Superman is an I Can Read book made specially for young readers ages 4-8, and is features the iconic DC Comics Superhero. In this story, Lois Lane tells Clark Kent she has the best headline for the Daily Planet front page and she's not telling Clark. Little does Lois knows that Clark is really Superman and is the subject of Lois' story. Later, Supes travels with Lois to his secret Fortress of Solitude and tells to Lois of his life story. All the sudden, Lex Luthor terroizes Metropolis with his machines and demands to face Superman, but Supes flies back to the city to defeat Luthor. What I really like about the book is how Superman's costume is just perfect, and not been tainted by DC's New 52 abomination. I Am Superman is perfect for children who are devoted fans of the Last Son Of Krypton!

My son loves all these "I can Read" superhero books. He is five years old and we read them aloud. I do question this being a level 2 reader. Some of the wording would be difficult for a first grader, even a second grader. It is not a phonetically based reader, but it makes a great read aloud or a book to read with your child, and best of all-it's about Superman!

Along with Toy Story, my son is really into Superman. This is an excellent book that the kids will enjoy. The story is simple and caters to its intended markets...kids. I can see anyone who is interested in getting their kids into books picking this up.

It's a great book for new readers. Simple text, easy to comprehend, and engaging. Covers all the cool Superman stuff. My 3 year old nephew is very advanced, I've started to buy him level one and two books as he is beginning to read on his own. For a typically developing reader in this age range, I'd go with level one books.

Able to Enlarge Small Print with a Single Tap! Or maybe it's a double but that part was Fun and gets my grandson involved in the reading process. Plus, it was fun just to read the basic story of Superman. It leaves you wanting more.

I bought this and other superhero easy to read books for my grandson (7) who is resisting reading. Now that he has books with a subject in which he is interested, he is eager to read. I bought him several of these books to pique his interest and they have. In my last phone call with him he recited the titles of all the books I bought him and thanked me for buying them. They are difficult to find in stores, so Amazon is the easiest way to buy.

I personally have always been a big Batman fan, but now I'm starting to like Superman and find him as a good role model especially for younger children. I think Batman has to much of a mature sad origin, and so does Superman, but Superman is something that all kids and people would want to be.

My toddlers love this book. But I will say its very basic, very short sentences.

A great book for the little ones who are into the superheros. My daughter is 5 and loves Superman. This book is a great story of who he is and how he has powers as well as little intros on the other characters. I will be buying more of this series.

per mio figlio di 5 anni che inizia ad amare i supereroi ma ovviamente è troppo piccolo per leggere i fumetti originali e ovviamente per guardare i film o i cartoni di queste serie, questi libri sono perfetti perchè sono una efficacie introduzione ai suoi supereroi preferiti. Noi parliamo inglese a casa per cui la lingua non ci ha dato nessun problema: frasi brevi, semplici e abbinate a belle figure.

Un libro muy sencillo pero que a los peques les engancha el súper héroe, sin darse cuenta tratan de leer en inglés. Es un pequeño paso ...

Mein Sohn ist total begeistert von der "I can read" Superhero Reihe. Sie motivieren ihm zum lesen. Einfache Texte, tolles Thema!

I am a self confessed Comic Book geek and my 6 year old Son has watched me read graphic novels and comic books his whole life. When he started showing an interest in my books, I started researching if there were age appropriate comics for children his age. I found these "I Can Read" series of books and ordered this one first because who doesn't love Superman!!My Son is a fairly good reader, but the books sent home from school for homework are very repetitive and a bit boring and they honestly didn't excite him or encourage him to want to read outside of School. This book, however, immediately grabbed his attention and he worked through the entire book one afternoon, with a little help from me. I've read other reviews that complain about phrases like "Fortress of Solitude" used in these books, because a child couldn't understand these words themselves, but I found that it encouraged a dialogue with my child, he came to me and asked me questions about what he was reading, was interested to learn more, rather than just reading the words on the pages like he does with his school books!Now, my Son is excited to sit down in the evenings and read his "Comic Book" while Mummy reads hers, not because he has to for School, but because he wants to! I honestly believe that, not only will these books encourage and improve my Sons reading, but they've hopefully stirred my Son's interest in something I personally love, and it'll be something I can share with him as he gets older!!
