“This book turns the bedtime routine into a superhero adventure. I don’t know about you, but our bedtime rarely feels that way. Hopefully this book would help the mundane tasks be fun for the little ones and not as drab for the parent. It might even encourage a little hustling instead of dragging feet that we usually see.”

4.5

“By myself, I would probably give this a 4, but my distracted toddler son stopped what he was doing to listen and has since asked for me to re-read it twice. The illustrations are laid out in comic book style, which is fun, but the illustrations themselves are nothing special, and my snobbishness slightly hates the Comic Sans-esque type throughout. Bottom line, it's a bedtime book that super hero and Batman lovers will adore but may just be ok for the rest of us.”
