moonpie's review
4.0
This is a children's book, but I've read it aloud five times now so I figured it was time to review it. The Uncanny X-Men: An Origin Story covers Charles Xavier's journey from childhood to founder of the X-Men, and identifies the original team, talks about their training, then goes into how more mutants were recruited to help find the original team when they went missing.
It's simple enough for my kindergartner to understand -- well, except for a passing mention of "the astral plane" -- but it's not boring; the text is nicely written and the art is great. It's a good, solid introduction to the X-Men for younger readers.
