Definitely true. I think it makes the book even more practical. You see Toni doing normal chores and it kind of makes you realize, that the simple things in life are just as important as the 'big'ones.

I think it is awesome and can do one of two things. It can make a child feel that superheroes need to do chores and like to do simple things. It can also make a child feel that they are a superhero while they are doing these things. These are both very important.

In as much as I wasn't enthralled by the book, I liked it's moral lessons. Tony surely has an influence on the kids who read the book.

I think it's great to have a child superhero who not only has powers but also the morality to assist around the house with daily tasks. I feel that one of the most important traits of a decent children's book character is for them to role-model appropriate behaviours for young children, particularly when they are at an impressionable age and learn from all aspects of their environment.

In this age where books with meaning are steadily reducing, it is refreshing to find good stuff.

Toni does not engage in activities that are harmful to children. That was a plus considering he is likely to influence on their behaviour.

Despite being a superhero, the humility that Toni portrays sends an excellent message to young people that staying humble is encouraged, no matter how big one gets. Toni's traits are also something that young authors can incorporate in their writing, to inspire discipline in their readers.

The moral lessons in the book are good for growing children. Children learn and do whatever they are taught to do from an early age.

I like the moral lesson about rescuing animals. That is a good starting point to teach children in taking care of animals. This moral lesson in the book is something I appreciate on the author. :D :D

I didn't think much onto it, but that is a perfect moral. It's a very simple book, but that teaches a great lesson. Yes, more books should teach that. I have my kids eat their veggies to give the super strength and speed. Why not have them use their super powers to clean, I've done it. :)

This is good. It is actually a good idea that more books should be written in a way that will instill something, a nice lesson, to the reader, especially the children.
