Toni the Superhero by R.D. Base
Spoilers

Yes, a good review and the author clearly noted that the book is targeted for beginning readers.

I read this with my elementary age son and the repetitive sentence structure was helpful and engaging to him.
Also the sequence of things Toni likes to do relates well enough with the kiddos.

I especially :)liked the contrast of color in the picture and I'm sure kids will too, especially more visual learners.

There was one or two places in the book that were incongruous and may be confusing for the young readers.
For example, "Toni likes to dust", but there was no picture of Tony or a duster. Also, "Tony likes to swim", but he is not actually swimming. However, I believe this is all done with the intent that it will be a little thought-provoking for the young readers.

Great review. This looks like a wonderful book for kids (who doesn't dream to become a superhero?) with clear pictures that convey the author's message clearly. Sounds like a winner!

This story for kids is really exciting to read! It creates great imagination to the readers especially the kids. The character is a hero itself, as well as acting like a normal child. But, he has a special ability for he can fly! This story gives inspiration to the young readers.

TONI THE SUPERHERO BY R.D BASE
The book "Toni, the superhero" is a simple book, with a very nice depth. The words are also very imitable.

It is a book full of exciting characters, passion and very interesting to kids.

Using very attractive and exciting animations appealing strongly to kids, the book portrays a well trained character, making the book of immeasurable value to kids.

The author was brief and explanatory. Other books by the same author includes; Toni likes to read, Toni saved the day and Toni lobes vegetable. The pictures are unique, educative and also very colourful.

I recommend "Toni, the superhero" to kids. Watch out for more exciting series.

This is the kind of book parents should give to there children to read in the morning and before bed time so they would know how all this little chores like washing dishes, cleaning their room and helping mom makes them look like a super hero character. When s/he becomes a teenager s/he would not depart from it. I love this book. A great book for kids.

Thanks everyone for the nice feedback! Tolstoy, I agree that the author noted that the book is a learn-to-read type of read. It was written with simple concepts and sentences with that specific purpose in mind.

Toni the Superhero, by R.D. Base. An easy read for children, along with Toni being a child, he's a superhero who does chores, and reads books. This is a really well written children's book. Very happy to have read it. My kids would enjoy me reading this book to them

I think the story it a unique one cause in a usual super hero story, the story is always focussed on the ssuper power, how the hero save the day etc.... But in this story the story did not only focus on his supernatural power but also his interactions among kids like him and his family. Its Indid a special novel for kids.
