Review :
In this science book readers learn about flight, X-rays, speed, strength, and more. The text is broken down into examinations of each power Superman has at his disposal and expands upon it with real-world science. . . .The information is presented in easily digestible paragraphs that can be read discretely. Small scientists can read about one area or several with ease. . . .A serviceable science text for curious and nerdy readers.-- "Kirkus Reviews" Science facts are presented in bite-sized chunks ideal for kids' attention spans, accompanied by colorful photographs and illustrations. This is one of those books that can be picked up and flipped through time and time again, finding an interesting factoid every time. Celebrating forces of nature, feats of engineering, and the strength of the human body alongside Superman makes Superman Science a great reminder that the real world is just as amazing at the one in comic books.-- "Geek Dad" STEM connections abound. . . .Illustrations, faithful to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's original comic-book stylings, share space with full-color photographs for a highly engaging layout. In the margins, trivia about Superman's origins and abilities are offered and will satisfy comic-book fans. By celebrating the most iconic superhero of all time, Biskup is inspiring the next generation of engineers and generating excitement about future scientific advancement.-- "Booklist" The authors found a great hook to make science cool -- Superman. Learn about flight, sight, speed, and strength all within the framework of superman. Text boxes accompanied by color photographs, illustrations, and backgrounds make this a digestible and interesting nonfiction science book. (Also check out Batman Science to learn about engineering vehicles, body armor, wings, and more.)-- "Imagination Soup"
