SuperHero ABC


Hh is for Huge Man who is Happy to Help Heroes and never Harms Human. He's not exacty Handsome, even His Hands are Hairy.

That is just a sample of one of the 26 superheros that grace the pages in Bob Mcleod's SuperHero ABC, filled with wonderful and imaginative characters that will make even the most creative 2nd grader scratch their head. This book is of course an alphabet book, but don't worry there is plenty of other text on the pages that make this much much more than your average ABC book, you could say that is a Super ABC book.

As a teacher we are constantly looking for interesting and engaging ways for students to spend their free and quite times during the day. This book will inspire students to create their own crazy and amazing superheros, and learn the Alphabet at the same time. The book has a interest level of K-2 and a Grade Level Equivalent of 2.3, would make a great early morning read-aloud.

Readability-5/5 If you are ready to have your students rolling on the floor, then read them this book.
Illustrations 5/5 Can I give it a 10/5? Iif I could I would.
Application- 4/5 As a creative guide for students to write and create images from this book is great, but does little else.
