'Be A Star, Wonder Woman!' by Michael Dahl with illustrations by Omar Lozano follows a young girl through her day and also shows what Wonder Woman is up to. It's the third book in this DC Superheroes series, and it's every bit as charming as the books featuring Batman and Superman.

A young girl starts her day by posing heroically, just like Wonder Woman. At preschool, she sees some kids fighting over toys and proposes a peaceful solution. She faces her nemesis, a rope up to a treehouse, out on the playground, and faces it with courage.

These are fun picture books with superheroes and the kids that want to act like them. The illustrations are fun as well.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Capstone Young Readers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

For: superhero fans; readers looking for an exciting book which juxtaposes real life with Wonder Woman's world.

Possible red flags: action/adventure/characters in peril; fighting with friends.

Yes, finally here is a super cute picture book which answers the question of why there are no picture books with girls modeling themselves after super heroes.

Just like the two previous books, a child has a day to be heroic as she, in this case, rights wrongs and faces the challenge of going to kindergarten.

There is a check list, at the end, that ticks of what makes you heroic. Being prepared, being kind, being brave. I am happy to say none say that you have to be pretty. I also like that she is a child of color and that her dad takes her to and from school.

I think little girls will love this book. When I was a child Wonder Woman was my hero and I still wear my "Wonder Woman " bracelet to this day. More books with super heroines in it please. Girls need to see themselves.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review

***I read a digital ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGalley***

Adorable little book for a pre-schooler. The protagonist appears to be Latina which is a nice bit of diversity in a children's book and her classmates are just as diverse as she is. The story goes back and forth between the little girl and Wonder Woman and her friends, which is a great way to introduce your kid to your favorite DC characters. Checklist in the back of the book is a good way to remind your little one the ways to keep being a hero.

Loved it! This is such an adorable, yet empowering book. It equates everyday school-time tasks (mediating friendship fights, facing fears, accomplishing difficult assignments) with being a hero.

The pictures are amazing, alternating between a little girl's day at school and Wonder Woman's battle with Circe. Beautiful illustrations.

There is also a "Be a STAR Checklist" at the end of the book that includes "Be Kind", "Be Brave", and "Be Honest" to teach and inspire kids how to be a star.

Fantastic book for superhero fans.
