As a huge fan of Stan Lee and his work, I did enjoy this easy to read biography as an introduction to teaching my sons about famous storytellers. Stan Lee was the modern day Homer of our time. He had a charming demeanor that perhaps this book could not convey. What the book does is give you the most basic information about Stan that you could read on his Wikipedia page with plain graphics, charts, timelines, glossary and a quiz. I was a little disheartened that the book didn't share his motto excelsior which epitomized his success in life, and why that was significant to him. The book also neglects to mention his Jewish heritage, but that can be overlooked since he was not a religious man. The book also doesn't delve into too much detail about the characters he created, but focuses more on his personal achievements. Overall, this is a decent book for kids.

Great book .very informative.great story

Building our library at home for,our homeschool has been great with all the new biographies geared towards kids aged 6 to 9 now available on Amazon.This story covers the life of one of,our favorites, Stan Lee. It helps kids learn that Stan started out as a comic book writer and artist; before he became famous for the Marvel,movies.It actually starts out explaining that he was an imaginative boy who spent hours reading all sorts of different stories which inspired him to come up all his creative characters and stories.The book focuses on the five W’s: Who, What, Where, When, Why. Showing kids how to write a biography by reading about someone they already know a little about.Two freaky helpful features in this series are the short, quick chapters which makes it easy for,younger readers to stay interested. And a detailed visual timeline that show major milestonesThere’s even a quick quiz at the end that tests their knowledge. A great book to help kids become interested in biographies.

Our three kids LOVE the Marvel Universe. We have been watching both the movies and TV shows in timeline order and whenever my kids are able to spot Stan Lee, they all yell, "STAN!!!" Given their interest, I thought this book might be a good way for the kids to learn more about the man behind Marvel.As expected, this is a biography so if you are looking for a book that focuses on his creations, this is not that book. Instead it talks about where he was born, early life, and how he came to write comics all the way to his movies and legacy. Like other books in this series there is a glossary and quiz at the back of the book.Overall my kids were really excited initially but when they realized it was a biography they were less excited. But we went through it and talked about how he worked his way up and now when they see him on the screen and they are done yelling, "STAN!!!" they occasionally mentioned something from the book that we discussed.The Story of Stan Lee: A Biography Book for New Readers
