The Secret Origins of the Super Heroes : How did Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and their Friends Get their Powers?

The first book of secret origins for a young audience! Next stop after MY FIRST SUPERMAN, MY FIRST BATMAN, and MY FIRST WONDER WOMAN is for four- to eight-year-olds wanting to know how the super heroes got their powers. Art from the original comic books illustrate these fascinating stories, simply told.

Before Superman was flying around Earth in a red cape, he was baby Kal-El, the son of inventors on Planet Krypton. Wonder Woman was a warrior princess of the Amazons. And Hal Jordan was a fearless test pilot when the Green Lantern Corps chose him to wear the ring. Children familiar with these famous characters love to learn about how their favorite super heroes got their powers. While there have been scores of books and comics for an older audience detailing these fascinating histories, nothing has been published for this age group--kids who particularly relish a good action/adventure tale!
