The Mighty Thor (Marvel: Thor) (Little Golden Book) Hardcover – Picture Book, August 9, 2011

My 4yr loves it

Great Book for a child! But aren't Golden Books always that way.

I was looking for a golden book for my son that would be different from the typical Disney ones we already had and I found these. His father and I are huge comic and action hero fans, so this and the others like it are perfect. Not only do they intro the characters to him, but the villains as well. It lays the foundation nicely for when we let him start watching the movies. I think he'll be able to identify them much easier as he'll already be familiar with them from the books.

Cute story, easy to read for the younger set, easy to read to the youngest set! I bought this to go with the 12" Titan Thor, for my 3 year old. He's sandwiched between two girls, so he was in need of some super-hero books and toys to get away from all the princess stuff. He LOVES this book and the others in the series. Marvel was SMART to partner with Little Golden Book on this one.

Great

As a Thor fan, I bought this to add to my collection. It's absolutely beautiful.

I would recommend this for any child, even though I know that in Norse mythology, Thor was a middle-aged blacksmith with fiery red hair and a black scar on his forehead from a workplace accident, that his usual mode of transportation was a cart drawn by goats, and that he had a wife and two adult sons. Let the kids enjoy the North American commercial Thor and learn about the "real" one later.

The hardcover was a bit shorter than the pages (pages stuck out a bit) but it's no big deal! This is a perfect story to teach a child about Thor. Not your ordinary "fairy tale". This will be a great addition to a baby shower gift!
