This easy to read book aimed at young readers serves as a perfect introduction for those unfamiliar with the original X-Men team: Cyclops, Marvel Girl, the Beast, Iceman, and Angel all studying under the tutelage of Charles Xavier, aka Professor X. The book also talks about Magneto and the first adventure that the X-Men took part in. The classic team has taken many changes over the years, but few teams will rival the original. Great introduction to the original X-Men team.

Publication of "The Story of the X-Men: How It All Began" was clearly inspired by the 2000 film that brought Marvel's merry mutants to the big screen for the first time. What I like about this book by Michael Teitelbaum is that it indeed focuses on the original X-Men instead of trying to deal with all the roster changes. However, while focusing on Professor X and the first-generation of X-Men--Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman and Angel--it does bring the characters up to date. Of course, a section is devoted to Magneto as well and the book does touch on the Generation X roster of the team, but the point is clearly to learn about the original group. Teitelbaum also does a good job of setting up the compelling premise of the comic book, that mutants are feared and distrusted by "normal" human beings. It was this strong underlying current of prejudice that always gave the X-Men its depth as a comic book. My only complaint is that while there are examples of artwork from throughout the entire run of the X-Men, no credit is given to the particular artists (although you should be able to recognize the distinctive styles of Kirby, Lee, etc.). Those of us who started reading X-Men when it first came out will recognize this is an excellent introduction to the good old days for newcomers to the world of the Un-Canny X-Men. A glossary in the back defines over two-dozens words reflecting the rich vocabulary and challening sentence structure of this Level 4 (Proficient Readers) DK volume.

This is a great book for any X-Men fan or someone who just became interested in them. It tells how Professor Xavier, Magneto,Cyclops (Scott Summers), Marvel Girl (Jean Grey, also known as Phoenix, Beast (Hank McCoy), Angel (Warren Worthington III, also known as Archangle) and Iceman (Bobby Drake) came to become the first X-Men. It also gives some info about other X-Men like WOlverine and some of their recent and former enimes like Juggernaut, and Quicksilver. One thing I enjoyed about this book is it had a lot of pics. from old and recent comics. Overall this is a pretty good book!

This is one of the books that youth would actually enjoy. It mixes the theme of the game with some drama and some more vocabulary. Great story line and amazing characters make this book #1 in the series. Readers who have read this should also read the other Turok novels.

Turok has never been this good! Battling it out with the dinosoids, action is great, plus lots-o-gore! Well, see ya later!

this book was a good read! It kept me occupied during my boredness. the story starts out just like the movie would with a prolouge to keep you antisipating the first chapter. the epilouge leaves you hanging though! the book never has a dull moment but the chapters are short. the pictures look so cool with 13 beautiful colorful pictures. I totally recommend this book!

This book is about all the strange events that take place in the life of Samanthat Scarlet, Peter Plum, Georgie Green, Wendy White, Mortimer Mustard, and Polly Peacock. This book is the junior version of the real Clue mysteries. If you read this book carefully you can figure out who did what and where. For example, in The Case of the Mysterious Letter, how does Polly know that the letter is a fake? Well to find all about the gang's adventures, you will have to read this mysterious chapter book.

This book has an excellent amount of stickers to use and in so many different posses. If you have a little brother or sister or a kid who loves Dragonball, this is a must have for him/her. Its at a good price too! So buy this book. It also brings out the creativity in a young childs mind.

Very entertaining for dinosaur fanatic kids. Written as if you were there, witnessing a day in the life of 10 different dinosaur species. Complete with battles, danger, eruptions, tidal waves, etc., with vivid colorful illustrations.

My son used his own money to purchase this book and he really enjoyed it. I grew up reading the Spider Man comics and so I also read it. It is a combination of the description of the powers of Spider Man and how he obtained them and a list of facts about spiders. This is an interesting and effective way to teach children science. While he was reading it, he would come up to me with questions like, "Daddy, did you know spiders . . . ?"
Written at a level perfect for the later elementary school child, this book teaches science in a unique and interesting way. I strongly recommend it.

In this book Garzooka, Odious, Starlena, Abnermal, and Compooky find them selves in another adventure to save the universe. This is the third book in the seris and the best. I liked the Pet Force books because they are exciting and funny. Vetvix, the pet force's archenemy creats a brain boosting device and increeses a dovermen's intellagence and strength. Then went around the universe increeseing dogs intellagence and strength. K-Niner gives the dogs collars to put on their owners. The colars make the owners act like dogs. If you liked this book you should read other Garfield books by Jim Davis

I think kniner dog of doom is by, far the best book in the series. In this book Vetvix creates a brain bosting machine and increeses a dovermen's intellagence. I really liked this book because it's exciting and funny. K-niner went to kennel (a planet with a lot of dogs), used the brain bosting machine and bosted all the dogs intelagence so they could walk and talk. Then he starts going to other planets and bosting dogs brains. If you liked this book you should read other books by Jim Davis.

I really liked this book. It is without a doubt the best book of the series. In this book Vetvix has created K-niner and tries to brainwash all dogs everywhere. This book was very funny as well as action packed. I would highly recommend it for any Garfield fan or for anyone who likes an adventure with a little bit of humor as well.

It was a good book,but I personally think it could've done with the puzzles.Otherwise,this book will keep kids entertained on long car rides or on rainy days.

I have to say digimon rock, because it does teach teamwork, and so does Pokemon(but not as much). I mean, would Tai or any of the others defeat Myotismon or The Dark Lords if they wouldn't of worked together. And that shows kids that if you work together then you can accomplish anything.

Digi-Know?! digimon rocks who ever thinks digimon is like pokemon is crazy.I'm a girl even I know the difference between pokemon and digimon.The kids in pokemon KNEW what to do.The kids in digimon was force to go to the digiworld.EXCITEMENT is writen all over it.
