Description

Be inspired by the amazing life of Stan Lee, the comic book genius who created Spider-Man, The Hulk, and Iron Man!

Little Stan grew up in New York City. As a child, he loved reading books, poems and newspaper strips. And when he didn't have his head in a book, he was writing stories of his own.

After he graduated, Stan got his big break in the form of a job as an assistant at a small comic book publisher called Timely Comics. He started by helping the editors with their work, but before long, he was helping to write the comics. He contributed to a Captain America story but soon started to create his very own characters.

From the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man to The Hulk, Stan's superheroes were innovative and exciting. Even though they were super, they felt human, flaws and all. In the years that followed, he built a solid career at Timely Comics. With Stan’s help, Timely Comics grew to become Marvel, the multi-million-dollar corporation behind some of the most successful Hollywood films, including The Avengers, Black Panther and Ant-Man.

Stan created a whole universe of connecting characters and stories which leapt off the page and into the hearts of millions of fans around the world!

This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the comic book creator’s life.

Biographies are such a fantastic way for kids to learn history and this series is probably my favorite. They're appropriate for very young children and they introduce kids to extraordinary individuals.
Of course, Stan Lee was a trailblazer and he left a huge impact on modern culture. The most amazing part of his life is that he was ordinary and relatable in so many ways. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

This is my favorite LPBD yet!! I grew up in a house that valued Marvel and have always been a big fan. I remember learning about Stan Lee many many years ago, but this book was a really nice memory jog. Once again, I think that the Little People Big Dreams books are great for people of all ages and I can’t wait to buy them and read them to my babies!

Another fabulous addition to my collection of Little People, Big Dreams books. Young (and not so young) comic book readers will enjoy this book, I even learned a few new things myself! Love the last page, it has a wonderful message for children and young readers😊

This was a great age appropriate way for children to learn about Stan Lee. I have reviewed advance copies of quite a few Little People Big Dreams books and would recommend them all for children to learn about public figures. They incorporate great messages like being creative and working hard.

Nice little story about Stan Lee's life and career with fun art as always. This will definitely be a hit with kids who are a big fan of Spider-Man and other of Stan Lee's creations.

The Little People, BIG DREAMS series never disappoints. I couldn’t of been more excited when I saw there newest release would be about comic book legend Stan Lee. I think the illustrations along with the story of his life help grab kids attentions and help introduce them to the world of comic books.

Maria brings the creator of Spiderman to life. Inspiring and a true portrayal of passion , the story of Stan Lee is a must read for any child, whether they are into comic books or not. Maria really captured the dedication and perseverance of Lee in the latest addition to the Little People Big Dreams books.

Once again Maria writes a gorgeous books, about a brilliant icon. I have also been a fan of Stan lee so I jumped at the chance to read this to my kids. My oldest is getting into super heroes so it was brilliant to show him who created some of his favourite characters

It was a joy to read and the illustrations are beautiful and eye catching

Taylor Swifts new album on repeat, reading the boys some new kids books I got advanced copies of, and the sun is shining….a happy Friday in my book! ☀️📚🎶

These books were so cute! I can’t wait to show my daughter the bug book as she’s been really interested in ladybugs lately. The Happy Stories for Animal Lovers was absolutely adorable! It was full of such beautiful illustrations and fun facts about animals. The Pond and the Park was a really adorable story about friendships. Respect the Insect book was very interesting to my son who has been hesitant with flies coming inside. Hee hee. He always really enjoyed Little People Big Dreams about Stan Lee and comics. My daughter is going to love Gabriel’s Toothfairy Tale as she’s been waiting anxiously for her tooth to fall out. Torla and Smorla was a really cute book my younger song loved. The Bison and the Butterfly was precious! Add these books to your kids summer TBR lists for summer reading programs. Thank you @netgalley for these advance copies!

A very interesting and easy to follow story of the man behind the popular Marvel characters. This graphic novel introduces Stan Lee and how he persevered in following his passion and becoming a successful comic creator. The illustrations fit the narrative perfectly. This is a great way to introduce children to the non fiction genre.

This is a fun children's book discussing the story of the comic book creator, Stan Lee. The illustrations are very cute and eye-catching. I think children will absolutely enjoy this book and learn quite a bit about his life. I was not very familiar with his story and so learned a lot. This is part of a series of biographies, Little People, Big Dreams written by this author that are well researched and engaging. I look forward to new additions to the series and so far I haven't been disappointed by any of these.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
