This book is precious! Marvel fans will love finding all the Easter eggs and seeing what the heroes are up to in this cutesy universe. The book really doesn't fit with canon--either comics or MCU--so some fans may not like it as much. However, the book teaches good "lessons" and shows non-traditional families. A sweet book.

For: Marvel/MCU/Guardians of the Galaxy fans; readers looking for a movie tie-in to read with a child just entering school.

Possible red flags: some readers may feel that the defeat of the villains looks too much like bullying--wedgies, tripping, etc.--and may find that problematic.

Ant-Man and Wasp are everywhere (seriously they are even on the cover)! This will surely delight your budding superheroes.

The illustrations are phenominal. A simple but charming story about young Groot.
