Tiny Titans: Field Trippin' picks up where the previous trade paperback left off, collecting the next seven issues (26–32) of the on-going 2008 series.

Like the previous trade paperbacks, Tiny Titans: Field Trippin' is composed of several individual mini-stories ranging from two to six pages in length with no overall cohesive storyline, yet each chapter has one overall theme. The cast of characters is rather large and it is expanded a tad most notably with Darkseid's kid joining the school – Kalibak. Like the previous trade paperback, a child could do an activity for fun and a pin-up poster that they could hang somewhere at the end of each chapter.

This trade paperback focuses more on babysitting as three of the seven chapters are about babysitting. Beast Boy babysits Miss Martian who loves how he changes into many animals and how she think Gizmo is her doll. Another babysitting moment has Kid Devil spends the day with Raven and Trigon. Finally Supergirl gets to babysit the Terror Titans (Copperhead, Disruptor, Dreadbolt, and Persuader), Little Tiny Titans (Miss Martian, Jericho, and Wildebeest), Smidgen from the Atom's Family, Kid Devil, and Jason and Tim Toddler who loves to dress up as Robin.

There is a reappearance of the Science Club as they goes on a field trip to the arctic to conduct experiments. Coincidentally, they arrive near the Fortress of Solitude, where the Superman Family is throwing a birthday party for Match.

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.

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: Field Trippin' is a rather wonderful continuation for the series and I can't wait to read the next trade paperback.

I like this kid series!

[Amy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think that Tiny Titans might have some appeal to my niece, nephew and me. The colors were vivid, the stories were pretty entertaining and easy for the kids to understand, and some of the characters were downright hilarious. The only problem is, my niece pulled volume 5 off the shelf today, and not volume 1, so we sort of felt like we weren't quite sure who these people were or what their purpose was. Might be a great idea to start at the beginning, but I suspect this series could be a winner for us.

Predating the webcomic Little League by a few years, this comic book imagines the Teen Titans as primary school children. Supposedly aimed at the children's market, this omnibus is filled with short episodic stories full of kid like situations such as being the new kid in school and having to babysit.

I say supposedly, because long time fans of the Titans will enjoy this book for the hilarity of Deathstroke being the principal of the local school and Lobo being the gym teacher. Other DC heroes and villains have cameos, often in crazy roles. (Personal fave: Lunch Lady Darkside).

The pets have a big part to play in this volume. We also go to the fortress of solitude, and have an infinite toddler crisis. As always this has made me laugh out loud, and the cuteness is a lot o fun. I particularly liked Match's birthday. A very good read.

This volume isn't as strong as the last two, but this is still a good series. The art is terrific and fun. There is a wider variety of activities included at the end of the book. The stories just aren't as good as the ones in some of the other volumes.

When I first started falling in love with Batman and Teen Titans, I thought, “Why not give Tiny Titans a try?”. The comic was funny, but I think I need to read more to find out if Tiny Titans is for me.

[Nancy Jo Lambert · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh wow! These are super fun, super cute graphic novels! I think these are great for kids, even younger kids. I see first and second graders really enjoying these!

3 1/2 stars. Adorable art, appropriate for young audiences. I was on a Young Justice kick after watching the stellar short lived television show, so I'm going through comic books now. :)

Even though this is for little kids I love them

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

The cuteness continues with more super pets, tiny toddlers, and lots of fun!

[Rachel Aranda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a fun read before finals.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little overstimulating for me, but genuinely funny at times and I can understand the appeal. Ages 7-10.

[Mehsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

I still got 3 books left. Can't wait to read them. :) Tiny Titans week, Yay Titans!

[Thinds66 · Rating 5 out of 5]

We love these books. Fun illustrations and stories. Lots of laughs.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was really cute. I love reading these comics! DC characters as little kids!

[Ben Hicks]

this book is actually filled with many different stories of these mini heroes fighting normal days after school and how to overcome normal problems with super powers!

This book was amazing and i absolutely loved it

I would use this to get some of the slower readers attention while teaching them that anything is possible!
