Wonder Woman and Superman Saves The Prez!
The Incredible Shrinking Super Hero is a Superman and Wonder Woman children's book featuring two of the DC Comics's most favourite Superheroes. In this story, Superman(Clark Kent)and Wonder Woman(Diana) are honoured by the President of the United States with the medals of honour, but suddenly, Brainiac, a alien cyborg, kidnaps the President and Superman and Wonder Woman must rescue him and the White House! Altough you cannot see the president's face, but we all know who it really is, also, it was great to see Supes and WW wearing their classic costumes and not the New 52 garbage! This book is perfect for Superman and Wonder Woman fans, it is a great read!

I have it memorized
My 6 yr old daughter LOVES Wonder Woman as well as the Justice League heroes. I've been searching for stories featuring Wonder Woman that weren't overly girly and corny and this is perfect. She got it for Christmas and we have read it almost every single night since.

Supes and WW rescue President Obama
This is a fun book - a little more violent than you'd like for a picture book for small children, but as another reviewer said, much less complicated than even a kid-targeted comic (like the DC SuperFriends series). What the cover doesn't show is that this is a book about Superman and Wonder Woman saving the President of the United States and the White House (from Braniac, of course), and while he's only shown from the back--let's just say you get to try out your Obama impression reading it out loud.

Superman lobotomizes Brainiac
Our kids love this story, and the president in it looks vaguely like Obama. However, on the grand It-Makes-Me-Want-to-Gouge-Out-My-Eyes scale of children books, where 10 is "Hand me a fork," I'd give this a 7 or 8. If Brainiac's so smart, why is he keeping his controls in his belt buckle? And why didn't he just shrink Wonder Woman when he got a chance? What else could have been as pressing?Also, unlike the children of another reviewer, my own kids resented my efforts to do a high-pitched teeny-tiny Superman voice and adamantly demanded that I quit it. So another benefit of the book is that it is preparing me for the day my kids become teenagers and roll their eyes in dismay whenever I enter the room.

She loves it!
Go Wonder Woman! My four year old daughter is loving super heroes but I can't lets her read the regular comics yet. She loves these younger, lighter versions of the female super heroes so much! The girl get to save the day and its not about a love story.

My superhero loving 4 year old loves these books. We give our son a choice of 3 books for us to read to him at bedtime each night and these are amongst his favorites.

Great book
I bought this for my son who is 3 1/2. He loves the Super Heroes. This story is simple enough to read to him (not a complicated comic book), and he loves when I do a voice of a tiny shrunken Superman!

not crazy good..
I rate this book as OK, not crazy good...but our daughters love it (esp. the 4yo). Can't argue with the peanut gallery.

Superman Classic: The Incredible Shrinking Super Hero!: With Wonder Woman
The story in this book is great for early readers, and for adults reading to younger children.Bold colours convey exciting action in this new story featuring these seventy years and more old icons.Although titled a Superman book, Wonder Woman is more than a supporting act and plays an equal role in the story.This is a good introduction to one of comics most enduring partnerships. The balance of genders and strong heroics from both characters mean this is well suited to both boys and girls.The theme of cooperation and mutual respect between equals while defeating the big bad - in this case the evil Brainiac is well played.The inclusion of Princess Diana ie Wonder Woman as a proactive heroine is a refreshing change from the more usual damsel in distress formula. Superman of course remains heroic even when reduced in size.A great introduction to the modern mythology of these leading comic book heroes.
