From the Publisher
KA-POW! Here’s a mighty new Little Golden Book about a boy superhero!
A boy asks Captain Mighty what it takes to become a hero. There’s a costume to choose and a power to develop. But most of all, it takes smarts and heart! It’s not long before the boy defeats the local villain, Turbo Troll, and earns his new name- the Silver Cyclone! This rollicking read-aloud will be a hit with kids and grown-ups alike!

For the youngest superheroes
Golden Books can be tricky because there’s such a broad range in their prose. How to Be a Superhero is definitely on the youngest end of the spectrum, a good adjacency to
Big Heroes!
and
Flower Power!
, with just one to two sentences per page. This is perfect for those littlest superheroes who are getting into comics but don’t necessarily have character affinities yet.How to Be a Superhero chronicles Captain Mighty stopping crime and a young boy who wants to be like him. So Captain Mighty asks the boy what his super-powers will be, they go through a quick list of “fly or fast” “quills or webs” etc, and when Turbo Troll attacks the mayor, the boy saves the day and becomes the Silver Cyclone (“cyclone”, btw, the most difficult vocabulary word in the book).Now any kids older than about 5 are going to want to know where the super-powers come from, and why plodding through a laundry list suddenly makes the boy a superhero, but these aren’t questions most 2 – 4yo’s will ask, which is who this is geared towards. It’s not the most amazing or engaging story, and it’s unlikely to be a favorite for long as your little ones grow into
more interesting characters
, but for that snapshot in time, like first steps or first words, this first superhero book is perfect.

Perfect book for little superheroes
Bought 3 of these as a favor for my sons birthday party and included them in a Superhero Training kit that we sent home with the kids. Fun and rhyming! Super cute!

Reading is fun!
I’ve never met a Little Golden Book I didn’t like!I gave How to Be a Superhero book as a gift. Along with this book I gave Rio Rand 5 Pack Cartoon Dress Up costumes satin capes with felt masks. What more fun can there be than reading a book and then acting out the characters. The Four Year Old Birthday Boy was so excited to see a story about SuperHero’s, something he’s really into lately!

Nice story
Lovely story which my daughter (3 and a half) loves. Not very nicely bound, so looks a bit cheap, but does the job.

Great book for toddlers!
My 2 and 3 year olds love this book! It’s catchy and cute. I like that it’s not tied to a specific super hero.

How to be a superhero
Arrived with a rip in the spine but was a gift and there was not enough time to replace. Little boy loved it though.

4 yr old loved it!
Gave this to my 4 yr old nephew for his bday. I wrote a note in it and gave it to him as his card with his bday gift. Cards get thrown in the trash. Books are inexpensive and make for great cards that they wont toss out 🙂
