Donning a load of ferocious looking Super Heroes, the Marvel Heroes Mix & Match Storybook offers hundreds of ways and combinations for kids to make a story. The book is simple and entertaining. Propping the book on its side you are able to make use of five cut-up sections. Each section creates a story. You move the storyboard on each section to a place you want it, or you just flip from tile to tile, and a story emerges.

Kids of various ages will have fun with this book but that is not the only reason that it’s a decent choice for your child’s collection. Not only will it get them looking at books, it will entice your child to be more creative. There are five sections for them to create the basis of a story. For example, flipping through the book just now, I came up with the following: The Red Skull targeted his time stopper at the white house, but it was suddenly destroyed by the Hulk’s Giant Green Fists. |
While this tells a child a story it can also be made into a base plot for them to continue the tale. Ask them what happened in between point A and B or even after the day has been saved.
The graphics in the Marvel Heroes Mix & Match Storybook are delightful. Drawn in true comic book style, each line is defined, the colors are vibrant, and the pictures are very specific. Many of them seem to pop right out of the book, which kids will appreciate as they make their stories.
According to the book cover there is a possibility to make thousands of stories from this book. The cover claims 40,000 adventures can be made with this one book. Your children will be able to flip tiles for good guys, bad guys, locations, weapons of destruction, and ways those weapons are destroyed. Younger children may find the book to be harder to read and the themes (mainly the weapons usage) might be too old for them to understand.
However, if I had to put an appropriate age on this book I would start at about 6 and go up to 10. Children over 10 may not find it as exciting and children under 6 may not be advanced enough to handle the topics, even if resolution is offered with the flip of a tile.
Bottom Line: The Marvel Heroes Mix & Match Storybook is an excellent addition to a middle-aged child’s library. It will initiate creativity and spark an interest in the fantastic world of Super heroes, if they do not already have one. Best suited for children age 6-10, this book would be great for a story time event where the parents took an active role in helping their children make a story from this book. Of course, it could very easily be used to entertain a child on their own for hours at a time.
