'The Amazing Adventures of the DC Super Pets: Cave of Kryptonite' by Steve Korte with art by Art Baltazar is a book for young readers with 3 stories about Superman's pet dog Krypto.
Superman is trapped in a cave of Kryptonite and Krypto is left to help out while Superman is unavailable. Krypto stops a rocket and a falling hiker. Now he just needs to find a way to help his friend Superman.
These are fun stories for young readers. The art by Art Baltazar is also lots of fun. The art is why I picked this up for review, and ended up having a good time reading them.

This is a good early chapter book for kids, but only if they are familiar with the Superman story. Otherwise, I think this would confuse them. There are a lot of assumptions going on here. The missile being the color of Lex Luthor's costume. What Kryptonite does, in Superman's world, etc.
And there is nothing wrong with these assumptions. It may well be that even young children know all about Superman, so no introduction, or backstory is necessary to enjoy this book.
However, the book is very, very short. So, just as you get into the story, it is over. And we don't solve the problem with the rocket, or how Kryptonite go into the cave, or anything like that.
If this is part of a series about Superman and Kyrpto, perhaps it makes more sense.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I absolutely LOVE DC Comics and the corresponding films. It is one of my greatest guilty pleasures of all time! It was only natural for me to want to read a cute adaptation of the DC Super Pets! Especially with that adorable cartoon cover.
Cave of Kyrptonite is a short but sweet comic. Krypto the Super-Dog takes the lead in this cartoon adventure! Superman and Krypto are hanging out, having fun and beating the bad guys. The three chapters in this book follow these two superheroes as they solve some mischievous plans. And lucky for us, these good guys are going to try to save the day!
I think this book is perfect for young readers, especially middle graders. There is a short storyline to follow that packs in a lot of adorable fun. I seriously think this is a great adaptation of Krypto!
Four out of five stars.

Even if I love the concept of small novel making the transition for young readers, this one failed in the story. A super pets yes, but a incompetent Super-Man, a dog that did everything perfectly right, just seem a bit forced. Young animal lover might enjoy but for me it just seem forced in the DC universe, and just not good.
