Whether you are rooting for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman or Lex Luthor, choosing sides with Captain America or Iron Man in Civil, or making a choice between the light and the dark side of the force, this pop culture fueled boutique from DK Canada should fan the flames of your fandom. The Heroes & Villains Boutique has all the books you might want to read more about your favorite super-hero or villain.
If there is one hero we didn’t had a book about him it was definitively Captain America. One day my son Dominic asked me if DK had a book on Cap, I wasn’t sure about it so I emailed DK and asked them. Their reply was that a book will be soon available for the Heroes & Villains Boutique.
I find that the Ultimate Guide books that we have received in the past to be packed with information on a specific hero in the universe of Super-Heroes. This book will allow you to read quite a bit on the First Avenger – Captain America as it is packed with information about friends, enemies, and storylines, this guide explores the exciting and rich history of the character. Through the pages of the book you will follow Steve Rogers' journey from the sickly and small Army volunteer to the iconic leader of the Avengers. Also, you will discover his biggest adventures, battles, allies, and foes. Marvel's Captain America: The Ultimate Guide to the First Avenger focuses on some of the character's most famous comic book arcs, starting from the 1941 debut of Captain America Comics #1 to modern day.
When it comes to reading, I find it important to have a book that you enjoy. This past year, one of my kids had to read a book for Awana and write a little report on it. It took forever to finish the story and write the report. But give him a book on a super-hero and he will read it thoroughly non-stop. If you have something that you enjoy reading, then you can easily go through a book. And for some boys reading novels is just not appealing but something about super-heroes will trigger their interest. So if you have a Captain America fan in your family, I suggest that you consider this title as a motivation to practice their reading skill.
