This is the best Spider-Man book from DK Readers. This is a little advanced for my four-year old and a five-year old who love superheroes. However, we started with the simpler version, Spider-Man: The Amazing Story, from DK Readers. I like this book better.
There aren't many comic books they can read and enjoy that are age appropriate. I don't let them watch the recent PG or PG-13 rated movies.
The DK Readers books provide a good outlet for their superhero imagination and are regularly mixed into our rotation of bedtime books (you can check out my Amazon Listmania list of bedtime books).
Avoid the superhero books that are direct tie-ins to the movies, though. I've found those versions to be of lower quality (see my reviews of the Spider-Man 3 books from DK Readers).

My 3 year old son loves Spider Man- but being only 3 he had a lot of history to catch up on. He's learning to read, but enjoys having this book read to him, over and over. He knows what his favorite Superhero has done and looks forward to reading this on his own. He carries this book around with him all the time. He did the same with the X-Men book. I recommend these readers to anyone with a chile who enjoys reading on their own or being read to.

This wonderful little book (of about 48 pages) is designed for younger readers in the Level 4 - "Proficient" category. This is not a comic book or graphic novel, though it does contain a lot of wonderful pictures. Instead, this book tells the story of Peter Parker, the Spider-Man. With a wonderful economy of wording, it gives Parker's background, how he came to be Spider-Man, what his powers are, and who his friends and enemies are.
My nine-year-old son loved the recent Spider-Man movie, so he wanted this book. This excellent little book tells the young reader everything he or she needs to know about Spider-Man. The illustrations are excellent and the sidebars (on everything from real spiders to Spider-powers and enemies) are wonderfully informative. This is a great little book, one that my son and I both highly recommend to you!
