I can imagine myself reading it years and years ago - but that would be guess work.
I just think it could have been a bit more interesting.

Children learn by hearing. Before they can read themselves they are listening and understanding. I see no reason that "I like" should be the sole focus of a reader.
I also think it would open up more dialog between parent/teacher and child if the verbs were varied. If you were to talk to your child about the book, the way it stands I could imagine a lot of questions based on what the child or Toni likes. For example: "Toni likes to jump, do you like to jump?" What happens when the answer is 'no'? End of conversation.
But if the sentence was, "Toni jumps." You could ask more questions: "Do you jump?" "How high can you jump?" etc. . . , thereby teaching your child to think. All without a plot.

For an older audience that can already read a storyline is extremely important.
