Over the next four years, Groot continued to grow and started exhibiting the personality of an adolescent.īoth Groot and Rocket then left the Guardians temporarily to accompany Thor to Nidavellir in order to help his mission to stop Thanos from completing the Infinity Gauntlet. Groot then joined his allies and assisted them in destroying Ego and saving all his friends, but Udonta died.

During the escape, they had met Peter Quill's father Ego while Groot and Rocket, along with Yondu Udonta, were captured by Taserface's faction of the Ravagers, but Groot was able to help them all escape. They were soon hired by the Sovereign to destroy an Abilisk, but they were then targeted by their former employers due to Rocket who double-crossed them. However, part of his destroyed body was planted by Rocket to birth a new Groot, as they joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.Īs the new Groot began to grow, he stayed with the Guardians and endeavored with them on many adventures. During the Battle of Xandar, Groot sacrificed his own life to save his new friends. However, when it was discovered that the Orb contained one of the Infinity Stones which was being sought out by Ronan the Accuser, Groot convinced his friends to risk everything to stop Ronan's diabolical plans. There, they agreed to work together to escape and sell the Orb for a massive profit. Together, the pair had traveled the galaxy picking up bounties until they met Star-Lord and Gamora just before the four of them were captured and put into the Kyln, where they also met Drax the Destroyer. Groot is a Flora colossus and the accomplice of Rocket Raccoon. If you/your child is a fan of Marvel, Groot, Guardians of the Galaxy, or superheros in general – then yes! It’s adorable, beautiful illustrations, and a fun addition to your superhero collection! If you’re not a fan of the aforementioned, it’s still a cute book but I would recommend checking it out at the library first."I am Groot. And for those not a fan of the duo stories happening simultaneously, I recommend reading Rocket Raccoon’s adventure recap first, and then the lullaby on a second pass through! Still, for younger children the pictures and favorite characters are enough. There is definitely an adventure to this, though it ultimately misses a moral unfortunately. The great news is, this doesn’t feel like one of the normal superhero kids books, where they slap together a couple sentences and graphics and sell it for the sake of money. As mentioned, the illustrations are beautiful, and the fact that the main Marvel characters made cameos is fantastic! A child recognizing their favorite superheros would love this picture book! Night Night, Groot is an adorably illustrated story featuring a lullaby for Groot, with interruptions from Rocket Raccoon who makes him relive the days adventures, including hanging out with more famous Marvel superheros! While a great idea, the switching back-and-forth from the lullaby and Rocket Raccoon talking are more confusing than necessary.

I chose Night Night, Groot as my first review because when I was pregnant with my daughter, we referred to her as ‘Baby Groot’ and this was one of the first books we picked up because of that. I couldn’t tell you her personal reviews of the books (except maybe her preference for eating the pages), but I can definitely tell you my thoughts, and which I’d recommend to anyone trying to increase their child’s library!

My daughter is 11 months old, but she already has a bigger library than anyone I know.
