I am not the audience for this book. I want more information about all of the characters - is the golden necklace really superpowered? What issue of the original comics introduced Nightwing's monkey? DO all of these characters originate in the DC universe prior to the creation of the DC Super-Pets brand?

Because to me, this comes off as just a marketing piece, with not nearly enough information to be called an actual encyclopedia. But I know that's the trend with these "Character Encyclopedias" for kids. So maybe I shouldn't judge. Rah.

This is a fun collection of super-pets (both hero and villain)with all the information you would like to know about them. I was pretty confident that I knew my super heroes, but I found out about pets I had never heard of before. Did you know that the Green Arrow has a pet porcupine named Quiver? He looks really cute with his custom-sized bow. And I found out the Joker has a laughing hyena named Crackers. His fur even matches the Joker's crazy green hair color. Each entry tells you the species, birthplace, food, weaknesses, allies, foes, and owner of each pet. There is a clearly labeled picture which points out their abilities, weapons, and costume. With so many super characters to keep track of, this is a handy guide for any fan.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.

Such a CUTE book. Intensive colors, great graphics, funny little tidbits, it covers every pet to every hero and villain. Kids who love DC should love this book. Filled with pictures and trivia, although not too much in depth information (a lot of these don't have much of a backstory...) They also have separate pages for the different leagues these pets make up. Recommended.
