Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Happy Holidays! From the Avengers
Rich Thomas · 2014
65/100
👎 Skip It
The concept is sweet — Avengers lose their iconic gear and learn the real point of gift-giving — and Stan Lee's narration is a genuine treat for families already in the Marvel universe. But at 48 pages with a minimal plot and appeal locked to existing fans, it reads as a seasonal novelty item rather than a holiday book that earns its shelf space year after year. A fine stocking stuffer for a Marvel-obsessed kid, not a classic worth seeking out.
