'How to Be a Ninja' by Chris Conti and Nickelodeon Publishing is a fun book for younger readers that ties in to the universe of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Each character talks about a quality of being a ninja, like tradition or teamwork or discipline. Michaelangelo has to have his say in the margins of the pages. Next up, the major villains of the series are talked about along with the particular technique that a true ninja should use to defeat them. If you want to know how to defeat Kraang or the Rat King, this book will tell you. Finally the book ends with a couple ninja missions, like sneaking up on a family member without them knowing you are there.

The book is full of fun illustrations. If you've got a 3rd grader who doesn't like to read, but who likes the Ninja Turtles, this is your book. I had a fun time reading this ebook.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Sourcebooks Jabberwocky and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Enjoyed the illustrations. I thought the lessons were a little vague, I thought it could have been more instructive for the kids.

What an entertaining book, at so many levels!
The Ninja Turtles have been so beloved by my elementary students for such a long time and the interest still exists as strongly as when they first appeared. The characters are still so familiar to young and older readers alike and this book goes a step beyond by providing life lessons simultaneously.
The Turtles, along with Splinter, Shredder, and an abundance of bad and good figures, remind the readers that virtues such as discipline, tradition and friendship are so necessary for success in life. Such ideology permeates the book alongside colorful illustrations of the Ninja characters. What especially impressed me was that the book left the reader with such important ideas as what makes someone stand out makes you special at the same time.
This is a clever and satisfying addition to the Ninja Turtles genre.
