Book Review - 'Wonder Woman (DC Super Heroes: Wonder Woman) (Little Golden Book)' by Laura Hitchcock (Writer), Pernille Ørum (Illustrator)

A very truncated introduction to Wonder Woman. It doesn't even mention that her real name is Diana once. Not to mention that it has her fighting a lot of villainesses (including Harley Quinn, plus the Cheetah and Giganta of Wonder Woman's rogues gallery), but never working alongside any heroines; just the male members of the Justice League. She's the Smurfette, all over again.

And why do modern Wondy stories keep glossing over her Amazonian heritage and sisterhood?! Why does this book say that her mother was the Queen of the Amazons - was, as in past tense?!

But the tiny picture book is light, breezy, colourful and full of positivity (Diana and the other good guys are always smiling! It's so twee and yet I can't hate it - it's fun and adorable and pure). It achieves what it had set out to do. I like the art, especially Diana's long black hair!

It literally ends with Wondy finding a lost dog for a little girl. The whole thing is cute, and it's still Wonder Woman, in her positive superhero aspects, so I've got to give it that much.

All my other 'Wonder Woman' book reviews, where I have a habit of writing about the world's most famous and iconic superheroine in great, massive, fangirly length, can be found here.

Final Score: 3/5
