Just as fun and cute as the first volume. Maybe a little less reliant on prior knowledge of the Titans, either through the comics or the cartoon.

This was super squee, super cute, and kawaii!!
Loved it!!
Robin, Kid Flash, Beast Boy, Bat Girl, Wonder Girl, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and a whole lot more make up the Tiny Titans.
They go to school, have a bird club, an underwater pet club, and even a tea party!!

Are the Teen Titans a bit too old for Junior and Jane? Then give Tiny Titans a try!
Full of color, action, and fun this book is perfect for your DC loving kids!

Aw Yeah Titans! Lola is hooked! She loves Tiny Titans, especially Blue Beetle, which is funny considering he's rarely featured.

Tiny Titans: Adventures in Awesomeness picks up where the previous trade paperback left off, collecting the next six issues (7�12) of the on-going 2008 series.
Like the previous trade paperback, Tiny Titans: Adventures in Awesomeness is composed of several individual mini-stories ranging from two to six pages in length with no overall cohesive storyline. However, there are multi-part stories that have smaller individual stories in between. The cast of characters is rather large and it is expanded a tad in this trade paperback. Like the previous trade paperback, a child could do an activity for fun at the end of each chapter.
There are some reoccurring themes and jokes that happen: Robin is generally considered the leader of the Tiny Titans, though no one seems to take him seriously is one of them. Beast Boy and Terra appear to have a very one-sided relationship, where Terra responds to Beast Boy's romantic advances by throwing rocks at him is another. Psimon is often called Brainiac, because of his exposed brain is another reoccurring joke.
The faculty of Sidekick City Elementary was expanded to have Darksied as a cafeteria worker, who was temporarily promoted to principal when Slade Wilson decided to commit truancy with Trigon and their kids. The Monitor is the Hall Monitor, which is rather apropos, who is constantly thwarted by the Anti-Monitor. Sidekick City Preschool was also introduced with the Clock King as the principal.
Two clubs have been introduced or expanded in this trade paperback: the Bird Club is for all the sidekicks with bird-like names (i.e., Robin, Dove, Hawk, Raven, etc.) and the Pet Club for all the sidekicks with get together with their pets and the first rule of Pet Club is that no one speaks about pet club.
Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani penned the entire trade paperback and for the most part, it was written rather well. It is quite funny, giving many Easter Eggs and allusion to comic events that have happened in the main continuity, which is rather clever for the older people who may be reading this series. It is also rather nifty that Blue Beetle’s backpack has its own language, which could be deciphered.
Art Baltazar does double duty as he penciled the entire trade paperback as well and because he was the only penciler, the artistic flow of the trade paperback flowed exceptionally well. The penciling was done exceptionally well. It has a cartoonish quality, which is rather apropos to this series.
All in all, Tiny Titans: Adventures in Awesomeness is a rather wonderful continuation for the series and I can't wait to read the next trade paperback.

School aged super heroes and villains, and a titan tree house. Too funny.

A cute book with a variety of short comic stories about well-known (and lesser known) DC characters.

3.5 for lunch lady darkseid.

Very fun and super cute. Much love always for Tiny Titans.

Another adorable read! I saw a reviewer mention that this volume didn't rely on the reader's knowledge of backstory, and I think that's pretty accurate. While the first one didn't make you feel as if you needed to go look up each of the characters, this one seemed much more relaxed in terms of previous knowledge. It makes sense, since it's the second volume and readers have probably already met the characters through the first. Die-hard fans of Teen Titans looking to find their old favorites in here may be disappointed, but this is a really fun, cute, and innocent volume, just like the first. It's not meant to mimic the mainstream comics. It's meant to have fun with familiar characters and make jokes at the "inaccuracies" in their portrayals. And to give kids something funny to read! I especially enjoyed the word puzzles in this volume. They were simple for me, an adult, but they would give a kid a challenge and help them learn more about letters and words!

So this is a random collection of little adventures with the kids of various superheroes. It is pun-heavy and definitely aimed at the lower grade age group. That said, it is cute and knows it's target audience. I personally loved the Robin family pet penguins. So cute! My favorite comic was the parade of superhero kids coming in to get their report cards.
Some aspects of this book make it look like it is a disposable workbook. There are mazes and puzzles meant to be written on mixed in and the paper is newsprint (which is easily torn). Don't expect this to last through tons of readings, but may be a good road trip purchase.
Notes on content: No language issues. No sexual content. Some rocks thrown at one character, but that's about it for violence.

I was hopeful, but sadly this didn't really do it for me in the end. The drawings are really cute, and my daughter enjoyed looking at them a few times, but neither of us found the story itself very entertaining, so she doesn't reach for it much. I'm not experienced in comics, so some "jokes" were just not meant for me, and all of the jokes were beyond my daughter's reach. Owly was a better graphic novel for us, and we'll have to find others that fit the bill.

This was very similar to the first volume although I felt like there was less reliance on having foreknowledge of the characters and their powers. (Although there were a couple things that you would either have had to have foreknowledge or read the first volume.)
Still lots of cute puns and plays on characters names. I am starting to find it odd that the school seems to be run entirely by villains, even if it does result in some great Raven/Trigun jokes.

im not sure why I keep reading these. the art is awesome, and the kids love the jokes. but to me, it just comes off as funny kids comics for *adult* superhero fans to enjoy. too many jokes rely on your knowledge of continuity. make no mistake, kids will still love it, even if they dont get the jokes.

It turns out that this is a second volume and maybe I should have started with the first but I found the story and characters inane and the the art so childish and wooden that I couldn't stand reading it. Maybe you have to be the right age to get and appreciate these younger superheroes, although I still think that Tiny Toons rocked...

This book was very good. It is called Tiny Titans. It is one of my favorite books. It is super cool. There is a boy named Best Boy and he is in love with a girl named Terra, who always throws rocks at him for some reason. My favorite character is Raven. She has two pet ravens. Speedy is very speedy, too. Best Boy can turn into any animal he wants, too.

There are a couple of very short and perfectly fine stories that are constantly interrupted by things with no real weight or reason for being. I'm going to drop this book. It's clear they took the "for kids" thing in the wrong way.
(Also, I'm still not sure who the audience for very, very simple jokes about arcane details of DC lore is.)

Truly an awesome comic. The 'kids' version of the Teen Titans but in my house, it's 36 year old me who reads it the most and not my kids. They're off watching Ben 10.

It was awesome! It had all these awesome stories! Because Blue Beetle's backpack translations.

Aw Yeah Titans!

Still fun. A few references to the current comics story arcs make it a bit less accessible to children. However, for the comics fan this is great.
August 2, 2012
More fun little tales from the "Tiny Titans", though I liked it more when the adults were portrayed like Nanny from the "Muppet Babies" TV show.
September 27, 2011
Favorite bits: Robin's issues with clowns, Supergirl and Barbara's tea party, and again, any scene with Raven.
June 9, 2012
More of the ridiculously adorable same.
December 30, 2011
This is a cute comic for kids that has a lot of inside jokes for the average comic reader as well. Book one was better but this will still carry me and my kids to book three.
July 26, 2013
I liked this book because it was pretty funny, like the other Teen Titans books. I liked Talon. He's like Robin but parallel. For example, Talon's pet's name is King. Robin's pet's name is Ace.

A library check out. I find these books very disorienting to read, but the boys enjoy them.
