(4) 1-3 DC Super Heroes series. Illustrated by Tim Levins. These three books present various superhero stories in chapter-book format. Simple story lines--featuring characteristic comic book–style onomatopoeia within the text--combine with rapid pacing and not-so-witty playful banter for slight but entertaining reads. Snazzy colors and familiar characters will likely appeal to reluctant readers. Superhero and supervillain glossaries are appended. Review covers these DC Super Heroes titles: Batman vs. Catwoman, Superman vs. Bizarro, and Supergirl vs. Brainiac.
