    Another Excellent Cosentino DC Superhero Book for Kids!!!
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2010*

I pre-ordered this book months before its release date because my 4-year-old loved author-illustrator Cosentino's "Batman" book so much -- and "Superman" is equally as colorful and interesing a release.Like his "Batman," Cosentino draws on retro styles from the 1940s and '50s to illustrate "Superman"; but he also gives an occasional nod to the "Superman" movies of the 1970s and '80s.  (In fact, Cosentino dedicates the book in part to George Reeves and Christopher Reeve, both of whom played "Superman" on TV and in movies.)The book introduces young readers to the Superman creation story --  Kal-El's journey from Krypton, his discovery and adoption by the Kent family, the discovery of his super powers, the creation of the Clark Kent/Superman dual identity -- in a way that young readers can comprehend and enjoy.And then there are the villains: Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Bizarro, and Metallo -- as well as the retro-looking giant robots borrowed from the Max & Dave Fleischer "Superman" animated cartoon series of the early 1940s.Of course, children won't "get" the allusions to past Superman stories, but parents will enjoy these nostalgic references -- and that's why even as an adult I prize Cosentino's work and look forward to his next treatment of a DC superhero for young children (which I've heard is to be Wonder Woman).

    Almost perfect. Just one little issue.
  

*by Q***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2014*

This Superman book for toddlers is great.  I love how it gives homage to the original comic, the TV series, and even the Christopher Reeve films.  My 3 year old loves it.  Unfortunately things get weird when you get to the villains section, ESPECIALLY BIZARRO.  You're going along...reading about the Man of Steel...the little guy is all excited...then all of the sudden you turn the page and there's a huge pic of Bizarro that looks like something out of the Walking Dead.  I mean...it's downright scary.  It's so bad I had to glue the Bizarro pages together because my son kept getting scared.  Just doesn't make any sense.  Other than that though the book is great.

    Do I have to be the first one to say it?
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2010*

Okay, then... I will.  This book is SUPER.I've been a fan of Cosentino's work since 
  
The Story of Honk-Honk-Ashoo and the Swella Bow-Wow







  
  
    .  He can definitely tell compelling stories to the very young and in this book he manages to introduce Superman, reveal his origins, introduce the gallery of villains that he regularly battles AND explain his raison d'être, all in just a handful of words.  It's simply the best possible way for comic fans to introduce their children to one of the most beloved characters in the genre and Cosentino does it in grand style.  Borrowing liberally from all of Superman's many incarnations, this book shows hints of the Fleisher cartoons, the movies from the 70's and 80's, the old serials and (of course) decades of comics.  Plus, I gotta say, when you combine this with Cosentino's 
  
Batman







  
  
     you've got the beginnings of a fantastic library for the comic-nerdy-toddler in your life.
