Review:
This is a real boys' book, so I was happy to recieve of copy of it to review - with Nat Fantastic doing superhero stunts, plenty of onomatopoeia ("Flash, Bang, Whizz, Kaboom!"), both my 2.5 year old and my 8 month old sons sat glued to this book over and over.  There's just enough repetition that my 2.5 year old learnt to be able to say those onomatopoeic words with me as I turned the page, which meant this book became a firm favourite very quickly.

This is the second of the Nat Fantastic books - the first one being titled Nat Fantastic - and they are both must-reads for all little boys!  If you're interested in purchasing this title, you can find it here.

My rating: 4.8 out of 5.
