This book has been one of the most interestingly paced and written books I have ever read. The story starts off with the first event of the origin tale of The Batman. It starts off with Milton Finger creating a new identity for himself ( changing his name to Bill) so that he would not face job discrimination. He was Jewish and in 1933, there was a lot of Anti- Semitism so he did not want to be discriminated against, especially in the career world as this was during the great depression and his family had been forced to close down their tailor shop. Long story short, they needed all the help and money they could get. This book follows Bill, who is never credited when on the topic of Batman, as he has experiences that eventually lead him to helping create the comic that would inspire so many films and franchises years and years later.
I think that this book is a good fit for elementary school students who are learning to
broaden their vocabularies but aren’t quite at an amazing level yet. This book has words that are
now in smaller sentences. They are good for trying to help kids read more complex sentences
and build foundations for it. However, the fact is that some kids will not be able to understand
them quite yet. This book is a good fit for them as well because it has illustrations on every
single page and they’ll still be able to understand what is going on. I also think that this book is a
very good way to teach kids about perseverance. Throughout the story, it is clear that no Bill
never gave up, even after being faced with so many hardships and overcoming so many
obstacles. This is a very big part of the IB learner profile and is a great lesson for children from a
young age.
