My four-year-old nephew is a budding Spider-fan. He's never read a comic, but he's got the toys and costumes, and I feel it my duty to introduce him to the source material. He's a bit too young for Essential Volume 1 (although I'm sure he'd love to color in it), and so I was wondering if you kind folks could recommend any Spider-Man books that are fit for the real young ones. Where they're doing it for the kids. I know they make those Marvel Adventure books, or whatever they're called, but I'm thinking more along the lines of a trade paperback, or something more substantial and gift-worthy than a three-dollar single issue. And something that preferrably can be ordered and shipped on-line, since I'm already five days late for his birthday, and wouldn't be able to get to a post office 'til Friday. Any thoughts?
I'm thinking anything appropriate for a 7 or 8-year-old would work, as I'm sure his dad will be helping him read no matter how uncomplicated the book may be.
