Kids love superheroes — and it’s not just because superheroes are cool. Children are attracted to their power and control. A superhero can fix anything! Plus, they have pretty rad costumes. When you're little, you have very little control, need help to fix most problems, and what four-year-old ever thinks they have enough costumes?
Now we all know superheroes are pretty hot right now, and it’s definitely not hard to find books with Superman, Spiderman, or Batman, which is why I didn’t include those iconic superheroes on this list. Instead, I found superheroes that you — and your child — may not know but should!
Feed into your child’s love of all things superhero with these 10 awesome superhero books.
