Reviews for Be A Star, Wonder Woman!

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

After reading Bedtime for Batman I asked for a companion book for little girls who want to be superheroes and here it is. It is time for school and this little girl is ready to be a superhero. I love that dad takes her in the morning and picks her up at night. Throughout the day she uses her superpowers to make it a positive one. Her powers included being prepared, kind, brave, honest and strong. She demonstrates these skills while participating in normal school activities. The story shows Wonder Woman fighting against monsters with a sentence beginning on her page and ending on the page with the little girl solving a problem of working on a situation. The illustrations are large, colourful and detailed. The children are all quite cute, and portray various ethnicities. A really cute book that could become a little girl's favourite. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Fun and fantastic kids book about kindness and strength.

[carolibrarian-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is a great story that shows how a small person sees themselves through her super heroes eyes. Be prepared, strong, kind are just some of the virtues that are being portrayed in this story that will not only appeal to the little ones but through the illustrations the older kids will be able to relate to the story. A wonderful mindset story that will help teach what it means to be a hero

Michael Dahl comes to us with his third entry in superhero picture books. First, we had bedtime with Batman, then getting ready in the morning with Superman, and now we have going to school with Wonder Woman. This new book is not up to par with the first two. First, the rhythm and tone of "Good Night Moon" has been abandoned; not a good idea as that in itself is always a winning combination. So this just reads like a regular simple picture book. Like the others, it compares the child's school day to Wonder Woman's superhero day. But rather than comparing them as being similar, "Be a Star" is heavily didactic telling the child how to behave in a hero or star manner. The art, however, is very compelling as in the other books and the highlight of this one. Wonder Woman is drawn in a tall, slim, angular fashion which compliments the short, childish, roundness of the little girl. Good for Wonder Woman fans but not for those looking for a continuation of the first two books' quality.
