Synopsis
Handpicked by Amazon kids’ books editor, Seira Wilson, for Prime Book Box – a children’s subscription that inspires a love of reading.Hero vs. Villain is a gently irreverent book of opposites with a slight narrative that plays on the popularity of benign villains and superheroes. Their adversarial relationship makes heroes and villains the perfect stars for a book about opposites. But can sworn enemies learn to be friends?

Review
"Positive, engaging, and, most of all, fun; an outstanding introduction to derring-do." - kirkus starred review
OOOH, I like this book so much. Because at first, I was thinking to myself how can we really say who is a hero and who is a villain because aren't we all a little of both? Then, I realized I was getting too existential for a board book but do you know what? It all works out! The hero and villain, shown in amazingly colorful, graphic-style illustrations become friends at the end. Which I LOVE!! Opposites include: "Up in the air / Down in the lair" and "Build / Destroy". - imagination soup, notable board book
A story of friendship unfolds through an examination of opposites. The hero, a brown-skinned girl in a cape, loves to go "up in the air" and to build things, while the green crocodilelike villain prefers his underground lair and destruction. But when the villain sees how sad his actions have made the hero, he brings her a cupcake and helps her rebuild. Though they started the book as enemies, they end as friends. Meyer's dynamic illustrations drive the story, conveying action and emotion. Highly recommended.
