I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This is a story that seeks to compare the roles of teachers and staff in schools with very recognizable DC superheroes. It's clear the goal is to help the kids relate to the teachers and staff a little more by using characters that they idolize on the screen. It was cutely done.
The illustrations were so bright and bold. They held true to the appearances of the superheroes used and really helped to show the similarities in a fun way. This would definitely be a good book to read with your young children who are a little newer to a school setting. Overall I give School is Full of Superheroes 3.7934 out of 5 stars. - Katie
