Wonder Woman: The Story of the Amazon Princess

My daughters 5 and 2 are mesmerized by this book.I've wanted to introduce them to super heroes for awhile, in hopes that they skip Barbie over. And it's worked with the help of your book.The illustrations are very accessible and fun (reminds me of the Craig McCracken style) and the story is right where it needs to be - hopeful, not scary, yet demonstrates her enormous power and motivation. I also appreciate that WW is drawn with a normal body and not a 22-inch waist and 38-inch bust.I hope they do more with female supers. Ralph Cosentino seems to have a great knack for it and this book shows he knows and loves the character.My oldest daughter loves Batgirl (mainly because her best friend is into Batman), but there are no suitable books for her. :( Maybe he can pitch a Batgirl of Burnside kids' book to DC. We'd buy it instantly and I would buy extras for all the girls who need to know they can be heroes, too!This book is greatly beloved and will likely bring a lifetime of influence.

Wonder Woman: The Story of the Amazon Princess is a great book aimed at younger audiences. If you don't know much about Wonder Woman or her history, then this tells the story in a way that anyone, child or adult, can understand. It highlights her origin: the creation from clay, the gifts from the Gods, and the contest held to become the champion of Themyscira. Unfortunately, these pages take up the majority of the book, leaving very little for "present-day" Wonder Woman. Although, we do get to see her Diana Prince alter-ego, as well as her more memorable villains like Cheetah and Silver Swan, all depicted in the great art of Ralph Cosentino. Honestly, that was the biggest selling point for me: the art.For a wonderful addition to your library, definitely pick up this book! It's a must-have for any Wonder Woman fan or just a casual fan who wants to learn her origin.

This is the second Wonder Woman book we got for our toddler. We also got My First Wonder Woman Book: Touch and Feel and at the same time someone gave my daughter Superheroes: Opposites, another hero-themed board book with multiple DC universe heroes. (It was my kid's birthday.)Skip this boring book!My kid actually hid this book in a kitchen cabinet because she hates it! This story is disjointed, wordy, and overly interested in an origin story. In some places the info/story given doesn't even really tie together. It's just all over the place and seems like it's talking down to the kid, rather than getting them interested in a cool hero.My advice: Skip this yawner! Go with the My First Wonder Woman book, which my kiddo asks to read often.And to the writing/publishing world: How about making a Wonder Woman book that kids actually want to read?

My one year old daughter loves having this book read to her. The story is a bit disjointed - more of a description of Wonder Woman's back story and a couple examples of her battles and good deeds than a narrative. The images are bright and vibrant. My only complaint is that WW is a quite hourglass shaped. It would have been nice to have the images portray her a bit less Barbie-proportioned, but at least she is strong. The book is a great addition to our library.

My son and I have enjoyed writer and illustrator Ralph Cosentino's  Superman: The Story of the Man of Steel  and  Batman: The Story of the Dark Knight  for some time. As such, we've eagerly awaited the release of Cosentino's third title in the series, Wonder Woman: The Story of the Amazon Princess. Cosentino comes through terrifically, delving into her origin story and the rogues gallery of her most infamous villains. I particularly liked the references to Greek mythology, both in the child-friendly text and in the colorful illustrations. Young readers and adults, too, will enjoy this telling of the Wonder Woman story.

My 4yo is really into Wonder Woman these days, which is unfortunate because there aren't a lot of books with her that are age-appropriate. This origin story fills an interesting niche: harkening back to the golden age comics artistry while presenting Diana in a kid-friendly way. Substantively it's almost identical to  I Am Wonder Woman , but with a really nice hardcover that lends itself exceptionally to gifting.

I got this book along with a Wonder Woman costume for my 5 year old granddaughter who was totally into the princess thing. I thought that this story might move her into the realm of female superheroes. Little did I know that Wonder Woman was Princess of the Amazon

What a great way to introduce little kids to the comic book format! My daughter is in love with Wonder Woman, and she loves this book! Younger kids may need a bit of help with some of the more advanced words, but otherwise it's a great book!

My three and a half year old daughter got this as a Christmas present and thoroughly enjoys it, we've read it countless times!The artwork is charming featuring clear lines and bright faces that smaller children love and importantly Wonder Women never appears sexualised. The story details Wonder Woman's origin and the her reasons for being a hero. Simple stuff but rather lovely in directly spreading a message of peace, respect and tolerance. It has clearly inspired my daughter's imagination!Very good quality hardback book with glossy pages and dust jacket.

Brilliant book! Love the artwork, the fact that WWs outfit stays true to her but has been scaled down so she's less 'on show' means daughter will concentrate on reading the story. Love the invisible plane!

Exactly as I expected and at a great price for a great product. My Granddaughter loves the book - she often plays at being Wonder Woman.

Great book with fun illustrations, and completely age appropriate while staying true to Wonder Woman’s story.

I had this book sent to my severely autistic granddaughter, who loves Wonder Woman. She really got a thrill from receiving the book.
