REVIEWS...
"I'll admit, I'm a little biased on this one. I also write children's books, and was curious how Rachel would pull off a children's book that dealt with super villains. I was pleasantly surprised by the light-hearted tale, full of vibrant imagery and comic humor. The style works, the story is funny, and she really pulls it off." --S.E. Gordon

"The story is cute and humorous. As an adult, I love it, and my godson and neice love it too." --Crystal Sheldon

"Brilliant bedtime for the budding super villain" --Robert Simon

"I loved this picture book! The illustrations were great and the humorous storyline of the "megamind"-like super villain was (shall I say it??) AWESOME! My little girl laughed out loud as we read it together." --Tux (Australia)

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun children's book for evil overlords February 14, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book, and the companion book (How To Be a Superhero), take all the tropes of comic book heros and villains and makes:

1. A list of everything a villain is expected to have.
2. A cute girl hero who has all these things.
3. Fun explanations for everything.

The "Villain" book borrows various things from "Things I'd Do If I Became An Evil Overlord", or perhaps Ebert's Movie Glossary. For example, the villain's base has to have a self-destruct button. The hero is a cute boy in the companion book.

Recommended.
