Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people who achieved incredible things. One such individual is Stan Lee, one of the genius minds behind iconic characters like Spider-Man, The Hulk, and Iron Man.

Stan Lee's journey began with writing stories in his bedroom, eventually leading to help with the creation of a fictional universe loved around the world. His creative passion for storytelling, including creating such characters as Stan Lee himself, propelled him into not only the limelight of the comic book industry but into pop culture in general. Through his work at Marvel Comics, he helped revolutionized the superhero genre and brought diverse characters to life that resonated with audiences of all ages.

The Little People, BIG DREAMS series presents Stan's life story in an easy-to-read and fun way for young readers.The book not only highlights his achievements but also encourages children to follow their dreams and pursue their creative passions. By showcasing Lee's perseverance and dedication to his craft, it serves as an inspiration for the next generation of writers and artists.

We have personally read many biographies based around the life of Stan Lee in different formats including long-form books as well as graphic novels. Each book has their own unique way of telling the story of the comic book legend, but none have really focused on the younger generation. This hits close to home as we have a three-year-old son at home that loved reading along.

The Little People, BIG DREAMS: Stan Lee book is wonderfully written by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with artwork from illustrator Ana Albero to give us a creative way to teach younger readers about Stan Lee.

This is a great graphic biography of Stan Lee for very young readers. It breaks down his youth to development of some of the most popular characters in pop culture. Vibrant, full-page pictures present various aspects that helped make Stanley, Stan Lee for children curious about the creator of some popular characters.

Once again, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara impresses with her "Little People, BIG DREAMS" series, known for its engaging biographies. Although I'm not a big comic book fan, Stan Lee's story grabbed my attention. The book combines entertainment with useful information, including real photos and interesting facts that both kids and adults will enjoy. It's a delightful read for comic book lovers, offering a peek into the life of the legendary creator behind many beloved characters.

I loved it and highly recommend it to others. A huge thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!.

Another great edition to a fabulous series of books!
Although I knew who Stan Lee was, I didn't really know too much about him so everything in this book was new information to me.

Thank you so much Quarto Kids/ Francis Lincoln Children's and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

This was amazing, I didn’t know about how Stan Lee started and it was really fascinating to learn exactly how he started his career, his dreams. I love that he’d always had this dream within him to write but he never realised how important what he was going to write would be.

He created so many characters, worlds and superhero’s that have meant so much to so many people, it gave people a comforting place to be. To see these regular people he created become superhuman and save the day. His work has been and always will be inspiring and comforting for many.

I really enjoyed getting to learn more about him through this book, young children would enjoy reading about him, what he does many children dream of doing, so to see how he managed to do it, where he started will help inspire them to continue making their own pieces of work, writing, comics.

I love Stan Lee and the universe he created. I was so excited for the opportunity to read this and I love it. I will be purchasing a physical copy of this one.

As with all the books in this series, it highlights the person's childhood to where they are now. The series shares the inspirations, ups and downs that the person it is about went through. With this one about Stan Lee, it talks about his love of reading when he was a child and how he took that and turned it into a career. He wanted to create characters that were amazing and super but also as average as anyone else. Obviously, he was very successful in this. The book goes on to show how his comics and stories were turned into movies and how he always loved sneaking in a little role for himself, which is one of my favourite parts of the Marvel movies.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Marvel or has a little one who is.

Here we have a great book gift to a younger comic lover because who doesn't need to get to know the man, the legend and the myth himself Stan Lee.

One of the new books in this series is about the father to our beloved superheroes Spider-Man, Hulk and Thor to name a few.

If you know a young comic lover or is one yourself and have a kid or know someone who has a kid then this is a really good gift.

Since my own daughter loves Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe I'm praying that this one will come out in Swedish so we can add it to her book collection of Little People, BIG DREAMS.

It's a great biography book for young children to learn about celebrities. Has amazing illustrations across every single page. Great book for a primary school library when researching celebrities.

wow I didn’t know any of this about Stan Lee and it was a fascinating short read. I love the way this series is geared for children and yet can also be enjoyed and informative for adults as a stepping stone for learning more. Thanks to Netgalley for letting me read this

My oldest daughter loves Marvel movies so it felt right to read this story about Stan Lee! I love biographies geared towards children because it helps them learn (and honestly I learn a lot too) and connect with things they love!

Stan Lee was so smart and a great creator. I thoroughly enjoyed this and so did my littles. We have read it a few times!

What a cute book for children! The story of Stan Lee, beautifully written for children to understand, could help foster a love of reading. Love the book stand mentioned - how is that not a normal part of everyday life now?! Also loved that his wife was mentioned, showing her support as well as her ideas.

It’s part of a great series that has had many other noteworthy individuals over the years and fits perfectly in.

Great addition for classrooms or home collections alike.

It was a very colorful and interesting book.Stan Lee is such an icon of the modern world our kids need to know him.He made us love all these super heroes.Must have book for every superhero lover.

Thank you to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.

The Little People, BIG DREAMS series focuses on average people who achieve great things. The book does a good job covering important stages of Stan Lee's life without making it overwhelming, while also making it easy to understand. This would be a great choice for a younger reader who's interested in comics, especially Marvel.

The latest addition to the Little People Big Dreams series details the life of Marvel creator Stan Lee. This book has a different illustrator to normal, the artwork is more simplistic, but it works for the story of a comic book creator. Well written, with just the right level of detail for the target audience.

It's wonderful to see an effort to teach kids likely too young to care, who Stan Lee was. It's an admirable effort, and the information is fairly accurate, if sparse.

Unfortunately I doubt this is doing enough to stand out aesthetically for much of anyone to pick up on notice. The art is unremarkable and average, even for children's book. It's not likely to catch the eye, and probably not going to keep a young child's attention even for it's short pages count.

At a distance, you wouldn't think "STAN LEE". The title is tiny, and he's missing his trademark 'stache. It's more like than not to go unnoticed in discount bins. The heart is in the right place, but the production isn't.

Such a cute book illistatrations are top notch
i cannot wait to collect all these when i have a child

I think this book was very informative.
I learned a lot about Stan Lee and I really am a big fan of his.
The art wasn't really my style but maybe that's just a personal opinon.

I really enjoyed this one and the kids thought it was fantastic. Everything about these books are kid friendly. From the way they are written to the lovely illustrations. I look forward to reading more. TBR and Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure that I was more excited for this one than my son was haha I was so excited to be granted this ARC for the next installment of Little People, Big Dreams. I am a big Marvel fan, so it was fun to read about Stan Lee and see his life as a young adult to when he got the spark for all of his comic book characters. This will definitely be a book that my son and I will read for a long time, and he will gain a larger appreciation for Stan Lee as he grows up.

A special thank you to NetGalley, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

I will admit, I don't know a ton about Stan Lee. I know he was involved with the comic book world, but that's about it. That is one reason that I wanted to read this book. This book is an enjoyable book both for children (who the book is written for) and Stan Lee adult super fans. I thought this book was easy and enjoyable.
