Book Description

The Superhero Starter Kit holds all the basics needed to launch little heroes. First, there's the durable, Velcro-strapped and oh-so-shiny Red Cape — that alone sets the mood for brave behavior. We also provide masks, wrist shields, and three pages of snazzy stickers so kids can accessorize their newly super selves. Plus you'll find a ton of heroic advice. For example: Never tuck your cape into your underwear.

Comes With: 1 red cape, 3 punch-out masks, 3 pairs of punch-out wrist shields, 3 pages of stickers

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and so funny!, September 15, 2006

This is the cleverest kids book I've seen in a while. My sister bought this for my nephew for his birthday, but as retired teacher and all around superhero fan, this is the best! It comes with its own red cape, stickers to create your own shirt, a mask for secret identity, and evil-warding bracelets. My favorite, aside from the whole section on what superheroes do and do NOT do, is the "how to move like a superhero". It emphasizes verbs and movement, which can easily become a great art/language arts lesson. So much fun, and non-violent too!

My 3 1/2 year old son received this as a Christmas present. He wore the cape non-stop for about 2 weeks. We read the book at least once a week even now and he's got the cape on today (Feb 20). Most Christmas presents come and go, but this one has ignited my child's imagination like no other.

I have a boy who is on the autistic spectrum. He absolutely loves this book. He wakes up each morning and put on the cape, mask,, and wristbands. It has been great for his pretend play skills!
