12 Marvel Books That Little Kids Will Love

12 Kid-Friendly Marvel Books For Little Readers Who Love Superheroes

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

With great power comes great responsibility, right? If your superpowers include quoting Marvel films on a daily basis and knowing which heroes' names are hyphenated and which aren't, it is now your responsibility to pass along your knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to the next generation. While they may love Marvel movies, toys, and games, there's a surprising number of Marvel books that are made just for kids.

Younger kids will love the picture-filled board books, and, for older kids, there are books that go a bit deeper into the action-packed adventures of Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and more. Here are 12 books your little superheroes will love.
