About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they have a reluctant reader who is obsessed with toys and movies but finds traditional storybooks intimidating. It is the perfect bridge for a child who feels 'stuck' in picture books and needs the boost of confidence that comes from reading about characters they already love and admire. By leveraging the familiar world of LEGO Batman, the book transforms reading from a chore into an extension of playtime. The book introduces the colorful cast of heroes and villains from The LEGO Batman Movie using simple sentences and high-interest visual aids. While the surface is all about capes and cool cars, the underlying themes touch on the importance of community, identifying one's unique talents, and the classic battle between right and wrong. It is developmentally tailored for 5 to 7 year olds who are beginning to decode words independently but still rely on strong visual cues to help them navigate more complex vocabulary like 'metropolis' or 'villain.'
